FG Recalls Angela Uwakwem Despite Imo Health Workers Opposition
The Federal Government has recalled the Medical Director of the Federal Medical Centre Owerri, Imo State, Dr Angela Uwakwem after a 10-month suspension.

According to the directive, she might have no case to answer after all, despite the insistence of health workers on her sack.
This is because the government concluded after its investigation, that Dr Uwakwem is not guilty of the accusations leveled against her by workers at the hospital.

The directive for her reinstatement was contained in a statement issued by the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire.
Dr. Ehanire said the recall of Dr. Uwakwem was with immediate effect, as she had since returned to work.
Contrary to the claims of the protesters, the minister asserted that her appointment was a presidential issue likewise, her removal could only be done through a presidential directive.
“Should evidence of misconduct be found against her, Dr. Uwakwem will answer for it and face the law, as no person shall be protected from justice.
However, “Since Dr. Uwakwem’s four-year tenure is valid until 2017 and no evidence of misconduct against her was raised by a Ministerial Fact Finding Commission, the Ministry desires rule of law to prevail over mob action,” he stated.
