When Dr Sale assumed office as Medical Director precisely in June 2017, the hospital was faced with enormous challenges in different sectors including defaced and dilapidated buildings, shortage of equipment and manpower which necessitates poor patient influx as well as…
…maladministration that subjected the hospital low government attention.
It should be noted that Sale drafted series of letters on the hospital's condition to the relevant Federal Ministries, Agencies, National Assembly and Sokoto state government and Sultanate council.

The efforts become fruitful where the then Minister for Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, National Assembly members and Sokoto state government officials visited the hospital and ensures more government attentions.
The effort led to the overall upgrade of existing structures that comprised Administrative block, all the patients wards, Out Patient Department, Laboratories, Pharmacy and construction of perimeter fence with four gates and Information and Communication Unit (ICT) routine…
…services were enhanced.
Dr Sale also facilitated the restoration of lost accreditation status of hospital's School of Post Basic Nursing then and equipped the schools with needed instruments and manpower which in turn became the best in the region for quality and quantity of students enrollment.
Under the list of Dr Sale's achievements, he also ensured digitalization of cash payments points and records department, transparent and open biddings of contracts as required by law as well as steady promotion of staff and other welfare.
At present, Dr Sale facilitated the construction of new molecular laboratory, Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Isolation center and accident and emergency unit in the hospital which were no existence in the past.

…(2017 to 2020).

Based on the foregoing, President Muhammadu Buhari found Dr Sale worthy and well fitted for reappointment as Medical Director of FNPH Kware for another four years to continue his viable stewardship that have been impacting positively to lives of Nigerians.
The reappointment was augustly received by community members, staff and management of the hospital to prove that a reception was keenly organised by the staff of the hospital and well wishers in honour of renewed hospital's Medical Director, Dr Sale, for his reappointment by…
…President Muhammadu Buhari, for second term in office.
The reception was well attended by dignitaries including Rep. Ahmad Kalambaina, member representing Kware/Wamakko Federal Constituency, District Head of Kware, Alhaji Muhammadu Dan'iya, former Medical Director and many others which demonstrated Dr Sale's acceptance.
On issues of administration, Dr Sale ensured that the entire staffs of the hospital are under quality administration and constant surveillance of the hospital management and records of every staff speaks for him.
As the civil service ordained, staff posting are in the best interest of management to improve service delivery as it is also one of the best indices of Corruption Risk Assessment (CRA) for staff to be routinely deployed in order to optimized efficiency and not to allow them…
…overstay in one position for more than necessary and to avoid their exposure to corrupt practices.
For the benefit of hindsight, it is the part of the duties of the Medical Director to carry out routine staff deployment in the hospital as provided for under the Public Service Rules of 2009 and condition of service of the Hospital.
The records of the staff of the hospital are in the hospital and every staff is been appointed or posted to a position based on his pedigree and records of his service in the hospital.
Staffs’ records speak for them it is important to note that no amount of blackmail can obliterate the record or force a serious minded person like Dr Sale to miscalculate or be guided for the purpose of internal postings within the hospital.
It was actually surprising that some unscrupulous faceless persons made castigating statement on the integrity of Dr Sale on frivolous allegations bordering nepotism and abuse of office in the internal postings.
What has been trending on social media platforms that out of 35 postings made on April 2021, only two postings that involved one in Procurement Unit and that of Umar Garba Yabai are been alleged to be inappropriate without citing any specific provision of the law/rule which the…
…postings breached.
Another posting of Barrister Tajuddeen Ibrahim Maskawa, have generated these baseless allegations out of envy against the person of the MD.
Another posting of Barrister Tajuddeen Ibrahim Maskawa, have generated these baseless allegations out of envy against the person of the MD.
Maskawa, is a lawyer who was appointed after garnering so many years of experience in the private legal practice. Since his appointment he has been serving as the secretary of many ad hoc committees that require high intellectual prowess and managerial skills in the hospital.
He performed all tasks assigned to him without any supervision and no one has ever complained about those tasks except now that he has been assigned to hold an office, why didn’t they complain about his secretaryship of those ad hoc committees?
Refusal for peddlers to cite the specific provision of the law/rules which the postings breached, validates the postings made by the management of the hospital.
From the wordings, the two undated anonymous pieces were poorly written as they were ridden with too many grammatical errors which ordinary shouldn’t have attracted an attention of any serious minded person.
The peddlers of the allegations could not fault the intellectual capacity, managerial skills and ability to deliver the tasks involved of the officers posted which are the major determinants; rather harangued on the levels of the officers who were found unsuitable for the…
…departments by virtue of their records in the hospital.
It is on record that seniority has never been a sole determinant in the internal postings of officers within the hospital or any other parastatal, internal postings of officers is within the absolute discretion of the management of the hospital under the supervision of the…
…Medical Director guided by the intellectual capacity, managerial skills, records of discipline and of course academic qualifications of the officers involved.
The sole motive was aimed for management to achieve a better result in the best interest of the hospital devoid of sentiments. It is not made to satisfy the power greed of anyone.
Public are urged to be wary and disregard the allegations in circulation on social platforms against Dr Shehu Sale for nepotism and abuse of office on the grounds that the allegations are mischievous, and unsubstantiated.
The entire internal postings were made in the best interest of the ho
spital and in full compliance with the rules and regulations guiding public service.
