Contrary to the civil service regulations, controversial Martins Ugwu, who has been working since 2006 in the Ministry of Health using the name, Dr. George Davidson Daniel, was offered a job a week after he submitted his application for employment.

The Federal Government has however ordered the Departments of Finance and s and Human Resources to do a thorough computation of what he had earned for nine years with a view to ensuring that he returns the money to the government’s coffers.

“The ministry is currently computing all salaries and allowances which accrued to Ugwu during his mischievous sojourn in the ministry, for full retrieval by the relevant law enforcement agencies,” the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Mr. Linus Awute, said.

Awute also said that since the fake doctor assumed duty at the Health ministry, he had ed only one promotion examination in 2013, which placed him on Grade Level 13 from Grade Level 12.

Ugwu was due to be promoted as Assistant Director in the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Health, before he was exposed.

Awute stated this on Wednesday in Abuja where the owner of the certificate, Dr. George Davidson Daniel, called on security agencies to protect him because his life was being threatened.

He also noted that Ugwu had collaborators in the ministry, adding that based on this, “we have sent another petition to the police to interview him to name his sponsors.”

The PS said it was necessary to place it on record that the ministry did not employ any of its of staff directly, but through the Federal Civil Service Commission which has the statutory powers to do so.

Awute said, “Mr. Martins Ugwu Okpe, who hails from Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State, got himself employed fraudulently using the stolen documents of his childhood friend and best man, Dr. George Davidson Daniel, who has offered to appear at this press briefing to clear his name. Martins Ugwu was offered an appointment by the FCSC on August 30, 2006 and was posted to the Federal Ministry of Health in September same year.

“The surprising thing about Ugwu’s appointment is that he applied for the job on October 10, 2006. He was subsequently offered the job on October 17, 2006 and he applied for an identity card on the 19 of the same month.”

That's great then. That would serve as a deterrent to others that hitherto considered to make it via fraudulent means. He should also serve jail time cause forgery is a serious offence

Same should go for govt fund looters. Long jail term with hard labour to commensurate with their offences.

Where him wan see am??

Where him wan see am??

I am sure this guy would have been going on strike along with NMA then when he was scamming the country

And he might be among those doctors that love to ho on strike.

Same gesture should be extended to,politicians,who gets kicked out from office by court. They should return all the money they earned while fraudulently in office and the ones they looted.

INSIDE WORK

not possible.

Them Obj na them arrange that guy o

scape goat

This Dude that borrowed money from my bank.

We also have a court case with him because of his fake employment.

Thank God he's not in medical line
Aside the income he's earned during the period of his fake service, they should also
a. Ask him to write a letter of apology to all the people he has being deceiving
b. State those who helped him get the job through this fraudulent means
c. Ask him to present the real owner of the certificate for questioning
d. He should also list those who has entered the system through same means (I'm sure he will be able mention a few
e. He should present his real academic credentials


I'm sure if not for the fact that he is due for promotion and his rival(s) knows about how he got into the system, he wouldn't have being exposed. So many of them are in the system and by the word CHANGE all of them will be washed out sooner

l bet you this is the begining of the end of this man...Mr Ugwu a.k.a Dr George. Why cant people be contented with who they are. l pity his wife who may not have known all this while.

But the man should not go down alone. Someone screened him, promoted him and covered him for nine years...haba! Doctora have been on strike on on-and-off bases and someone had been posing as "oga mystifica" and eating what is not his....diaris god oo

He has been demystified!

....serves d idio.t right

Why will he return it

Lol, na die this guy dey.

Saw this yesterday on STV news. The guy doesn't realise the kind of soup he's in. He was still boasting of being the leader of NMA federal level and had led many govt expeditions.

Its as if he thinks all that should cover up for his sin of forgery.

Anyway, many of those in govt functionaries don't have genuine, worked for, certificates. Most of them are forged or payed for.
