Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has announced the immediate sack of the commissioner for Health Prof. Princewill Chike.
The Governor’s announcement was made on Monday, when he received in audience the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, Prof. Abba Wasiri Hassan at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
Governor Wike said the decision to sack the Commissioner was because he accepted to host the preliminary session of Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, MDCN, in Port Harcourt without the approval of the state government.
He said the State Government did not request to host the MDCN preliminary session and wondered why the Health commissioner will decide to host the event at the same time when the State government is commissioning and flagging off of projects.
“Frankly speaking, I have never seen an embarrassment like this in my life. Everybody knows that it is not my nature to bring people and you cannot attend to them or host. So, whoever has done this will suffer for it.”
