A group under the aegis of Concerned Citizen Right (CSR), has called on President Bola Tinubu to investigate the alleged corruption and falsification of service records at the Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital in Calabar, Cross River.
The group particularly asked that an independent body be set up by the presidency to carry out the investigation.
The convener of the group, Mr Patrick Umoh, made the call in a press conference in Calabar on Sunday.
Umoh noted that the alleged corruption have pitched management of the hospital against the hospital’s Labour Unions.
He said the crisis that have gone on for years now, has affected the quality of service delivery by staffers of the Neuro Psychiatric Hospital.
“The staffers of the hospital are now being intimidated and harassed for voicing out and exposing these abnormally.
“This is the reason why the President needs to step in directly and order a full-scale investigation to be conducted by other persons other than those from the ministry,” the Convener of the group said.
