The Ekiti State Government has suspended the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the State Specialist Hospital, Ikere-Ekiti, Dr. Olaolu Olubiyi, pending investigation into allegations of gross misconduct against him.
The suspended CMD is to immediately hand over his duties to the Consultant, Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G), Dr. Akinsipe Catherine Iyabo with immediate effect.
A statement from the State Ministry of Health and Human Services made available to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, said Olubiyi was suspended by the State Hospitals Management Board following the seriousness of a case of gross misconduct reported against him, which prima facie established the fact that he violated Ekiti Public Service Rules 030301(ii) and 030402(x).
The statement said the suspended CMD has been prohibited from carrying out his official duties pending further investigation in line with the provisions of the State Public Service Rules.
While stressing the commitment of the government to rewarding excellent performance, diligence and dedication to duties, the statement reiterated Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s zero tolerance for violation of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.
