Ihenyen lists achievements, debunks allegations

BENIN CITY- The Medical Director of Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital, Uselu, Benin City, Dr. (Mrs.) Olabisi Ihenyen has said that the eight years of her administration in the hospital as Medical Director had recorded several monumental achievements which has repositioned and strengthened the hospital capacity for better services

Dr. (Mrs.) Ihenyen stated this yesterday in Benin City while debunking allegations leveled against her administration by the workers union of the health institution comprising of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives of Nigeria (NANNM) and Senior Staff Association (SSAUTHRIAI), Psychiatric Hospital, Uselu, Benin City.

The medical director who denied the allegations, said it was the handiwork of mischief makers, adding that the allegations may have been based on the decision by management to carry out staff verification exercise which will involve WAEC and NABTEB geared towards sanitising the system.

Dr. (Mrs.) Ihenyen maintained that since her assumption of office in 2003, she had ensured that all the salaries and arrears accruable to staff of the hospital were paid to them in line with the Federal Government salary structure.
She stated that the hospital under her leadership is not owing any member of staff but has lived up to its responsibility of paying all the arrears that accrued to members of staff, which she enumerated to include CONTISS monetisation and promotion arrears.

Dr. (Mrs.) Ihenyen listed some of the landmark achievement recorded by her administration to include the successful construction of the permanent site of the hospital located at Idumunowina Aduwawa, Benin City which is presently functioning, improvement of infrastructural development of the hospital, especially in the number of new buildings that have sprouted up both at the main hospital and its permanent sites.

Meanwhile, the NANNM and SSAUTHRIAI, Psychiatric Hospital Uselu chapter have frowned at management failure to pay their outstanding arrears.

Rising from an emergency meeting held on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at the hospital premises, the unions in a communiqué jointly signed by the Chairman, NANNM Mr. Peremofoboyoh and Pharmacist (Dr.) Kenneth Oriakhi, Chairman, SSAUTHRIAI stated that despite several overtures and appeals to the hospital management, a number of their allowances, which they listed to include 2007 promotion arrears, CONTISS arrears due to some nurses in 2006 have not been paid by management.

They therefore, called on management to urgently grant their demands to fore-stall any further protest.
