Posted on: Sun 31-12-2017

In what looked like a comic of sorts, Medicalworld Nigeria reports that two dead appointees are to head the federal medical center ebute-metta and federal medical center azara bauchi. 
 
The deceased were included in the list of appointment into boards of federal government agencies recently released by the Buhari government.
 
'Late' Alhaji Umar Dange, an APC leader in Sokoto State, was appointed as a board member of the Federal Medical Centre, Ebute-Metta and 'Late' Kabir Umar, a former Emir of Katagum in Bauchi State, who died on December 9, was on the board of the Federal Medical Centre, Azare, Bauchi.
 
Speaking with a Medicalworld Nigeria correspondent, Nurse florence anozie noted that inclusion of dead people on the list of appointess was a demonstration of incompetence by the Buhari administration. According to her, these appointements were made over two years ago and should have been done without these embarrasing mistakes
 
Medicalworldnigeria.com reports that in total six deceased individuals made the list and include:
 
late Senator Francis Okpozo, who died in December 2016 but was named the chairman of the board of the Nigerian Press Council.
 
Another was Donald Ugbaja, the late Deputy Inspector General of Police who died in November but listed was as one of the members of the Consumer Protection Council.
 
Also on the list was the late founder of Fidei Polytechnic, Rev. Christopher Utov, who died in March but was listed as a board member of the Nigeria Institute of Social and Economic Research
 
Another appointee, Ahmed Bunza, died at Usman Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, and was buried May 22
