REBUTTAL

The attention of the Corporate Affairs Department of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) has been drawn to a mischievous publication purportedly issued by a blog named "Arewa Republic". In the said publication, the CMD UCTH purportedly addressed the press on the on-going allegations of rejection of a cadre of doctors based on their tribe.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Chief Medical Director UCTH has granted no interviews, issued no statements nor addressed any set of pressmen on these allegations. We urge mischief makers to please channel their energies to useful and productive ventures.

Thank you.
