 Industrial Court Orders Reinstatement of Enugu Hospital MD


The National Industrial Court Abuja division has ordered the reinstatement of Professor Monday Igwe as the medical director of the federal neuropsychiatric hospital, Enugu, declaring the termination of his appointment unlawful, null and void.

Justice Emmanuel Subilim gave the order while delivering a verdict in suit between professor Monday Igwe as claimant and 7 other defendants. 

The court also voided the appointment of dr Unaogu Nneka as substantive medical director of the hospital during the pendency of the suit, describing the action as overreaching and unlawful.

 

Justice Emmanuel Subilim held that prof Igwe had successfully proved his case against the defendants in the matter and thereafter ordered his reinstatement as medical director of the institution to complete his remaining three years and five months in office.

 

The court also  ordered payment of prof Igwe's emoluments from September 2023 up to the date of the judgment.

 

Justice Subilim declared that the procedure adopted for the purported termination of prof. Igwe’s appointment was arbitrary, illegal, and a fundamental breach of the mandatory statutory provisions and regulations governing his employment.

 

The court further awarded the sum of 3million Naira in favour of prof. Igwe, against the defendant.
