Share

Suspended Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Agency (NHIS), Professor Usman Yusuf on Monday forced his way into office.

Prof Yusuf arrived the premises of the headquarters of the Scheme with over 50 fully armed Mobile Policemen who broke the gate to the Headquarters as well as fired tear gas canisters to disperse staff members of the organisation that tried to prevent Yusuf from entry the NHIS premises.

Yusuf, who was suspended by the Board of the NHIS last week, vowed to resume work saying that only the president that appointed him can sack him and not the Board.

The suspension of Yusuf last week was the second in just about a year of financial infractions and maladministration.

He was first suspended last year by the minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole but was asked to return to his job by President Muhammadu Buhari.
