The Executive Secretary of the
National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, Prof. Usman Yusuf, has been suspended.
Yusuf was suspended by the
agency’s governing council to pave way for investigation into allegations
levelled against him.
Chairman of the governing
council, Dr Eyantu Ifenne made this known at a briefing in the NHIS
headquarters on Thursday.
He said that based on the review
of various documents on allegations levelled against Usman, they have resolved
to constitute an administrative panel to investigate and submit their report in
the next three months.
He said, “The ES is suspended
indefinitely to pave unfettered space for the committee to do thorough
investigations into the matter.”
Efene added that approval has
been got from the Minister of Health, Prof Isaac Adewole, in the regard.
“The council has also resolved
that Dr Abubakar Sadiq Adamu immediately step into the acting capacity of the
ES to allow activities to run smoothly,” he stated.
