The Acting Chief Medical Director of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Prof. Akeem Lasisi has revealed that Osun State government spent a total of N1.7 billion on capital projects in the hospital.

In an interview with News Agency of Nigeria, Lasisi said despite the huge amount of money spent on projects, the hospital is still ‘comatose.’

He said “Aside the investigation on financial transactions, the forensic experts will also probe the sudden upsurge in the number of staff between 2012 and now.

“When I assumed office three weeks ago, I met a comatose hospital; resident doctors were on strike and there was total paralysis.

“More so, documented evidence shows that government has invested N1.7 billion as capital project in this hospital.

“In spite of that, there are many projects that are undone or not properly done. One of these is the new laboratory complex; the building is there but there is no furniture.”
