Just In: Benue State University Teaching Hospital Destroys Expired Drugs Worth Over N200 Million....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH) in Makurdi recently conducted the destruction of expired drugs and other consumables with a total value exceeding N200 million at the Mohammadu Buhari Mother and Child Hospital.
During the destruction exercise in Makurdi, Benue State, on Friday, Dr. Stephen Hwande, the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of BSUTH, revealed that the hospital is also in the process of seeking approval from relevant authorities to dispose of over 100 corpses that have been abandoned in the hospital’s mortuary, some for a period exceeding three years.
Dr. Hwande stated that the hospital’s management had already written to the Commissioner of Police, Bartholomew Onyeka, informing him of the situation and requesting consent to proceed.
The majority of the unclaimed corpses were brought to the hospital by either the police or soldiers from scenes of herdsmen attacks or accidents and have remained unclaimed since their arrival.
Dr. Hwande explained, “There are over 100 unclaimed corpses in the morgue. For the corpses, we have written to the Commissioner of Police to grant us the right to dispose of them.
Regarding the expired drugs, he noted, “What is happening here today is the destruction of expired drugs by the hospital. I came here two weeks ago with a mandate from Governor Hyacinth Alia to revamp and restore the dignity and confidence of this place. Upon my arrival, I inspected the hospital’s stores and discovered expired drugs and consumables worth over N200 million. This substantial quantity of drugs could be used to establish the largest pharmacy in the state.”
He expressed surprise at the situation, questioning why the hospital allowed the drugs to expire when they were intended for patient use. He emphasized that when dealing with drugs with short expiration dates, they should be distributed to other hospitals or used for medical outreach programs before they expire.
Dr. Hwande shared, “I am in discussions with top pharmaceutical companies to supply the hospital with quality drugs to enable us to maintain a high standard of service and eliminate unwholesome practices in the hospital. I have also rescinded the privatization of the Radiology section to bring it back under hospital management.”
The destroyed drugs included antibiotics, antihypertensives, anti-malaria medications, as well as consumables like iodine, bandages, and urine bags.
Dr. Hwande added that the hospital had recently initiated a Mother and Child care program and outpatient health insurance. Additionally, the hospital plans to introduce In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) services and expand maternity care. Consultations for mothers and children are offered free of charge for children under 5 and pregnant women.

THE GOVERNOR’S SHOCKING CONFESSION: “I Failed!” – Otti’s Historic Apology Sends Tremors Through ABSU!.
Abia State Governor Alex Otti has publicly apologized for the recent strike action staged by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) at Abia State University (ABSU). Speaking on Thursday at the International Conference Centre in Umuahia during a public lecture commemorating the 35th anniversary of the state’s creation, Otti noted that the strike was entirely preventable because he had already approved the union’s legitimate demands and factored their financial implications into the official memo.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Attributing the breakdown to bureaucratic delays rather than a lack of executive approval, the governor took full responsibility for the administrative failure. He stated, “I want to, on this podium, apologise to Abia State University as well. That strike was avoidable. The reality is that the work stops here. So, we failed. I failed. I failed them.” Emphasizing that unresolved welfare issues are unacceptable once authorization has been given, Otti asserted that the incident underscores an urgent need for heightened efficiency and accountability among government officials tasked with executing approved state policies.

THE CAMPAIGN COUNCIL CRISIS: Unbelievable Revelations Show Party Leaders Completely Left in the Dark!
An internal source within the All Progressives Congress (APC) disclosed that key stakeholders were excluded from formulating the controversial Presidential Campaign Council (PPC) list. This revelation followed President Bola Tinubu’s closed-door sessions on Wednesday and Thursday at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa with the Progressives Governors’ Forum, part of ongoing efforts to address intense backlash over the initial roster released on August 23, 2026, which notably featured figures facing corruption allegations.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to insiders speaking to Punch, the controversial lineup was drafted exclusively by the President’s Special Adviser on Political Matters alongside a small group within the Presidency, entirely bypassing the party structure. Consequently, the initial document was scrubbed from the party’s official X handle, with a revised version anticipated pending presidential approval of the two-day deliberations. However, checks by Naija News confirmed that the list remained active on the X account of Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy.
