The Edo State Chief Medical Director of Neuro-psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Sunday Osasu has pledged to shore up the fight against corrupt practices in the state hospital.
Dr. Osasu gave the assurance when he played host to the State Commissioner, Independent Corrupt Practices Commission on the occasion of its Inauguration of Anti Corruption and Transparency Unit, ACTU, of the Federal Neuro psychiatric Hospital, FNPH, held in Benin City.
Osasu commended ICPC when he spoke shortly after the inauguration of the ACTU branch of the commission in the state that in such a time when the Federal Government has done all within its purview to eradicate corrupt practices that have bedeviled the economy which he noted was a sign of good things to come.
“I appreciate the establishment of ACTU in the FNPH branch, because corruption is something every Nigerians should fight because of its various adverse side effects on the populace of the country. We are aware that ICPC is a statutory body meant to fight the scourge in the public civil services sector and statutory by law have been empowered to set up smaller units in all its agencies and that’s what just happened today. For me, it’s a welcome development,” he remarked.
Earlier, the Commissioner Independent Corrupt Practices and other related commission, Mr. Olukile olusesan told the host it was imperative to strengthen their relationship to oust all forms of corrupt practices to ensure a safer working environment for the society at large.
