@cloudikeme
What are the names of the management? Who was in charge of fixing that? Until we start sanctioning and actively doing things against these leaders in any capacity who are corrupt and mess things up, things will never change

This is another unfortunate situation of "Nigeria happened to her". When are we gonna get it right?
When will life matter? First, negligence and
"our" zero maintenance culture, to poor health care situation at the hospital. It's just so sad. I pray God comforts her family and loved ones.

This is heartbreaking....why are those saddled with the responsibility to oversee the affairs of such organizations mostly neglecting the maintenance of such structures. The CMD must be QUERIED!
@MakojeK
This is sad. Can't imagine the private sector would be so negligent. What happened to the quality working environment?
