Nwabueze whose presentation was titled “ Power, Authority and Responsibility in the leadership structure of FCTA hospitals -Challenges and Prospects for Effective Service Delivery “said as a result, the functions of the governing board were not being carried out or sometimes usurped by other authorities.
