“The Medical Director arbitrarily shut down the School of Nursing Neuropsychiatric Nursing Enugu which serves both students of South East and the Middle-belt, leaving several students stranded
“He continues to abuse and harass other staff of the institution with his usual boast of enormous powers; “that only the President and his brother in the Army can advise or instruct him, that Civil Service means nothing.
