Chairman of the hospital’s board, Alhaji Ahmed Ramalan, who disclosed this yesterday in Abakaliki during a press conference, said the renaming was with immediate effect.
Alhaji Ramalan said the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, gave the approval on behalf of the government as it is important to bring the action to the notice of the people of Ebonyi and Nigerians.
