The National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed a stay of execution bid by Dr Ngozi Unaogu, Medical Director, Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital Enugu against the court’s judgment which sacked her from office and ordered the immediate re-instatement of Prof. Monday Igwe to complete his unlawfully terminated tenure in the office, Igbere TV has learnt.
According to Barr. Michael Okorie, counsel to Prof. Monday Igwe, the implication of the dismissal of the stay of execution bid is that all official actions including issuance of appointment letters and award of contracts by Dr. Ngozi Unaogu since 11th December, 2025 when the judgment was delivered are null and void.
He further warned members of the public to beware of dealings with Dr. Unaogu to avoid suffering nullity of such illegal actions. He further explained that the dismissal of the stay of execution bid means the judgment remains operative and enforceable.
The development requires President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR to direct the Minister of State, Health and Social Welfare to immediately comply with the judgment in order to uphold the rule of law and prevent further deterioration of the public health institution.
