Appointment Of Chief Medical Director For Lagos Hospital, LUTH Didn’t Follow Due Process, Needs Review – Applicant Petitions President TinubuThe Chief Clinical Coordinator, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Cancer Centre, Prof Olufemi Fasanmade, has written to President Bola Tinubu, over the appointment of Prof Wasiu Adeyemo, as the LUTH Chief Medical Director.
“My two-term tenure as CMAC ended in 2020. Thereafter I went to head the clinical operations of the NSIA-LUTH Cancer Centre and Adeyemo, my former deputy became the new CMAC, a position he held till a few months ago. Fasanmade further stated that interviews were delayed till after Adeyemo had resumed in his acting capacity, “thereby securing an extra 4-5 marks for the acting post which was given midway into the interview process. This was despite the fact that I had on several occasions in my own 4-year tenure as CMAC also acted as CMD.
Fasanmade also alleged that a few weeks after the interview, the Minister of Health interviewed him and Adeyemo privately in his hotel suite in Eko Hotel on April 28, 2023 for reasons best known to him. “I am aware that the office of the Secretary to Government of the Federation produced a letter on the 5th June 2023 directing the appointment of Adeyemo as CMD with effect from 24th March, 2023 .
“Needless to emphasise that I am aware that several subsisting petitions on these irregularities were documented as letters and petitions to the Hon. Minister and other federal authorities by concerned stakeholders but were never considered nor attended to.
