Court Rejects Govt’s Attempt to Block Igwe’s Reinstatement | Nigeria News

The Federal Government’s attempt to halt Professor Monday Igwe’s reinstatement as Medical Director at Enugu’s Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital failed in court. The National Industrial Court in Abuja rejected the government’s motion to stay the judgment, calling their “appeal” a mere draft lacking legal formality. The court also condemned the interim appointment of Dr. Ngozi Unaogu as a judicial disrespect and warned that delaying Igwe’s return would harm him, especially as his term ends in March 2027. The court’s ruling upholds the December 2025 decision, reinforcing the importance of following legal procedures in high-stakes appointments.
