The Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN) ended its 60th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Owerri, with far-reaching resolutions to take the body to greater height.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the AGM appointed Mrs Grace Eronini from Imo Specialist Hospital as its new Board of Trustees Chairman.
This is contained in a statement issued by the association’s President, Dr Casmir Ifeanyi, and made available to newsmen on Sunday.
According to the statement, Eronini replaces the former BoT Chairman, Mrs Adunni Udu, who was ousted at the four-day AGM.
Ifeanyi stated that Udu was removed at the AGM, which ended on Saturday, following a motion moved by Fewedu Ibrahim and seconded by Dr Brendan Mamah.
He added that the AGM, pursuant to Article 6d of the AMLSN Constitution 2018 (As Amended), passed a resolution that suspended Dr Uche Odionyema as a member of the association for allegedly committing different constitutional breaches.
He further stated that the AGM also passed a resolution suspending the use and operation of an “illegally” opened FCMB account: 200464370, allegedly opened by Odionyema, who was said to be parading homself as the association’s president.
The AGM, he said, held that the FCMB account “is fictious and apparently opened for fraudulent activities”.
The AGM further held that it was opened in violation of the provisions of Schedule 3b of AMLSN Administrative and Operational Guideline 2018 and AMLSN Constitution 2018 (As Amended).
The statement added that the AGM also issued a disclaimer on the conference allegedly being planned by Odionyenma, reportedly restrained by the Federal High Court Kano from parading himself as the President of AMLSN.
Ifeanyi, therefore, advised the AMLSN members and the public, including the Government of Abia not to have anything to do with either Odionyenma on behalf of AMLSN or the said conference. (NAN)
