Members of the staff union of the National Health Scheme Insurance (NHIS), have protested against the reinstatement of their Executive Secretary, Usman Yusuf.
Mr Yusuf was on Tuesday reinstated by President Muhammadu Buhari, after being suspended by the Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, in June 2017, for alleged gross misconduct.
The Minister had set up a panel after Yusuf’s suspension and the panel found him culpable of alleged nepotism and theft of public funds.
Adewole approved the NHIS boss suspension alongside eight other top officials of the NHIS.
The suspension, according to a statement by the ministry on July 17, 2017, is in furtherance to the activities of the investigative panel of inquiry as well as the desire to have an uninterrupted and robust investigation of all petitions against some officials of the NHIS.
The petitions against the NHIS Boss and the suspended officials include security reports on maladministration and mismanagement.
