The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) has debunked rumours that the Bola Tinubu Health and Diagnostic Centre (BTHDC) sited in the hospital is owned by President Bola Tinubu.
The Chief Medical Director (CMD), LASUTH, Prof. Tokunbo Fabamwo, said this in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
Fabamwo said that the clarification was necessary as some social media posts had linked the president to the facility ownership with allegations that human resources practices in the facility are anti-Yoruba.
“To start with, the Nigerian president doesn’t own the facility. It is a public-private venture with a memorandum of understanding signed by private entrepreneurs with the Lagos State Ministries of Health and Justice.
“It happens to be named after the Nigerian president but hey, so are so many other facilities named after eminent Nigerians who do not necessarily own them.
“The allegation of anti-Yoruba practices is as ludicrous as they come. It does not and cannot happen.
“The headship of this radiological and laboratory facility as well as the principal officers are all Yorubas.
