A spokesperson for the Hospital Management Board (HMB), Samira Sulaiman, in a statement, said the decision was taken due to Sunusi’s lack of capacity to drive the government’s policies of free consultation, admission, and treatment.
Suleiman said the board in an unscheduled visit to hospitals under its care went to the hospital and found the CMD wanting and sacked him with immediate effect.
“The decision was taken after a long deliberation with the Hon. Commissioner of Health, Dr. Abubakar Yusuf Labaran and the Executive Secretary Kano State Hospitals Management Board, Dr. Mansur Mudi Nagoda, after failing to organize staff as well as implement the proclaimed government policies of free consultation, admission and treatment,” Suleiman said.
“His Excellency, the executive governor of Kano State, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has on several occasions visited the facility mostly at midnight and still found the facility in an unfavorable state urging that corrections should be implemented but still it remained the same.”
It was stated that Dr. Nagoda expressed displeasure over the CMD’s lack of capacity to manage human resources, render satisfactory hospital administration despite being a consultant in the field of pediatrics’.
“In breach of proclamation of government on the policy of free treatment, drugs and basic investigation are paid and receipted. He was also given two weeks to set the lab into action but still not functioning leaving patients with no other option but to run test in other labs outside the facility.”
