SGF Akume urged to facilitate the confirmation of Dr Agada Enye as substantive CMD of Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi

In a bid to bolster healthcare services and recognise exemplary leadership, concerned members of Idoma community have called on the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), His Excellency Dr George Akume, to facilitate the confirmation of Dr Agada Enye as the substantive Chief Medical Director of the Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi, Benue State.

According to the group, under the aegis of Idoma Lawyers in Politics, Dr Enye has proven her mettle during her tenure as the acting Medical Director since her appointment in March.

Barr. Ankeli A. Echo, President, Idoma Lawyers in Politics, in a statement on Sunday, noted that prior to this role, Dr Enye served as the Head of Clinical Services, showcasing her expertise and commitment to the healthcare sector.

We, the undersigned, call on the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), His Excellency Dr. George Akume CON, to utilize his esteemed office in facilitating the confirmation of Dr. Agada Enye as the substantive Chief Medical Director of the Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi as all the Federal Medical Centres in Nigeria are directly under the Office of the SGF through the Federal Ministry of Health and only the SGF has the final say on such confirmation.

Dr. Agada Enye has so far demonstrated exceptional leadership and dedication as the acting Medical Director of the Medical Centre since March she was appointed in an acting capacity.

Prior to this role, she served as the Head of Clinical Services, showcasing her expertise and commitment to the well-being of patients and the medical institution.

We urge His Excellency Dr. George Akume CON, to consider the significance of appointing Dr. Enye as the substantive Chief Medical Director, as this decision would have far-reaching positive implications.

It would further douse any notion in certain quarters that Dr. Akume does not hold the Idoma people in high regard, especially concerning the absence of an Idoma nominee for ministerial positions.

We would like to remind Dr. Akume of his commendable record of being good to the Idoma people while in office as the Governor of Benue State. Now, we implore him to uphold that legacy and prove to the Idoma community that he values their contributions and aspirations.

Dr. Agada Enye’s elevation to the position as substantial Chief Medical Director would not only recognize his exemplary service but also serve as a testament to Dr. Akume’s commitment to promoting capable leaders within the Idoma community. Dr. Enye’s wealth of experience and dedication to the healthcare sector makes her a suitable candidate for this esteemed position.

We, the undersigned, firmly believe that Dr. Agada Enye’s appointment as the substantive Chief Medical Director of the Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi, would be a step towards fostering unity, growth, and progress within the Idoma community, Benue state and the entire nation at large.

We humbly request His Excellency Dr. George Akume CON to use his good office to facilitate this appointment and solidify his support for the Idoma people, as well as his dedication to ensuring the growth and development of the healthcare sector in Nigeria.
