Ebonyi state governor, Francis Nwifuru, has on Saturday, confronted civil servants caught diverting materials, meant to be disbursed to Primary Healthcare Centres, for sale.
In a now viral video on X, the governor bursted a store where hoarded ante-natal and immunization registers were kept for sale by the suspected civil servants.
Addressing the culprits, Nwifuru expressed his disappointment as recounted observing the use of exercise books as registers at PHCs due to the lack of the diverted printed materials at the centres.
“This is the register for daily ante-natal, and you decided to sell it. Whereas, we don’t have one in our Primary Healthcare where this supposed to be. They are using exercise book to write. I have seen it times without number.
“You have the opportunity to be a civil servant. All these things are in your custody and you are selling it.
“Today that is Saturday, you called buyer to come and start loading it.” Nwifuru said.
Before the governor’s interception, two vehicles were loaded with the materials including polio vaccines card.
He disclosed that he has been observing the presence of the vehicles at the store countless time.
