Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has ordered the immediate suspension of Dr. Caulson Osoikhia Oahimire, the Executive Secretary of the Edo State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, following allegations of serious financial and official misconduct.
The announcement was made in a statement released on Tuesday by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Ikhilor, from Benin City, the state capital. The decision comes amid mounting concerns over alleged irregularities in the administration of the state’s healthcare agency.
According to the statement, the suspension is to allow for an in-depth investigation by a special committee that will be constituted by the state government. In the interim, the most senior officer within the agency has been directed to assume leadership in an acting capacity.
Governor Okpebholo emphasized the importance of accountability in public service and reiterated his administration’s zero tolerance for financial mismanagement and unethical conduct in government institutions.
The investigation is expected to thoroughly review the allegations and determine appropriate actions based on its findings.
I think its unfair to suspend someone without a proper investigation. Shouldnt we wait for all the facts before passing judgment?
I wonder if theres more to this story. Could there be political motives behind the suspension? Curious to know more.
Is it fair to suspend someone over financial infractions without a proper investigation first? Seems a bit harsh, dont you think?
