NHIS boss defies suspension order, resumes at work.

The Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Prof. Usman Yusuf, who was suspended indefinitely by the governing council of the NHIS on Thursday, resumed work on Friday, ignoring the resolution of the council, Saturday PUNCH can confirm.

It was learnt that Yusuf resumed at the head office of the agency in Abuja around 10am to the surprise of members of staff.

In a memo with reference number NHIS/ES/091/1/192, signed by Yusuf and addressed to the chairman of the council, Dr Enyantu Ifenne, the Executive Secretary said only President Muhammadu Buhari could suspend him.

Citing sections 6, 7 and 8 of the NHIS Act, Yusuf said the council only had the powers to manage the scheme and other related activities, adding that he had not even been informed of the petitions written against him.

The memo read in part, “As you are aware, by virtue of Section 8 of the NHIS Act, my appointment, like yours, is at the instance of the President, while the council’s power of appointment is limited to directors and other employees of the scheme.

“It is, therefore, ultra vires or the council to suspend or purport to suspend me from office to the extent that the said suspension is the prerogative of Mr President.”

In her reaction, the chairman of the NHIS board acknowledged receipt of the memo on Friday.

Chairman of the NHIS board, Dr Enyantu Ifenne, however, expressed shock over Yusuf’s decision to defy the council.

She said, “Let those who hide under the cover of the Presidency to protect corruption know that Nigerians are keenly watching. I am convinced that if President Buhari is fully briefed about a tenth of Yusuf’s atrocities, he will throw him out.”

At a briefing in Abuja on Thursday, Ifenne had accused Yusuf of insubordination, fraud, arbitrariness and other corrupt practices.

She had announced his indefinite suspension and appointed Sadiq Abubakar as the acting Executive Secretary.

When you hear this man talk with so much disdain,Oshiomole talk with so much contempt,the likes of Fmr DSA Daura and current IGP Idris etc,act with so much disobedience,disdain and contempt in regards to Buhari,even as president,you unconsciously get to swear that it shall not be well with those that still want this grand dullard re-elected.
4 more years of Buhari would destroy this Nation,I am in no doubt about it.

Me I talk am earlier now. Is it not the same Buhari?

When an official acts this way, be rest assured he has backing from Oga at the top.
Buhari has simply told him, " No mind those yeye people. Am I the only person to decide who is kwarupt and who is not".

Buhari and his fight against corruption are like cow poo.

Kindredspirit1:
Buhari, Over to you

You are telling him over to you, can he hear what is happening ?

Not new. Not the first time.

IMPUNITY at its peak in this administration.

Above the law just like all Buhari's lackeys

From Cables News...

Razaq Omomeji, chairman of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) chapter of Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, says Usman Yusuf, suspended executive secretary of NHIS, will meet his water loo if he steps into office on Monday.
Enantu Ifenna, chairman, NHIS governing board,
announced Yusuf’s suspension on Thursday.
The ES was suspended indefinitely over allegations of financial infractions.
However, Yusuf was said to have reported to the office of the agency in Abuja on Friday, ignoring his suspension.
In a memo he sent to Ifenna, Yusuf said only President Muhammadu Buhari reserves the power to suspend him.
“As you are aware, by virtue of Section 8 of the NHIS Act, my appointment, like yours, is at the instance of the President, while the council’s power of appointment is limited to directors and other employees of the scheme,” the memo read.
“It is, therefore, ultra vires or the council to suspend or purport to suspend me from office to the extent that the said suspension is the prerogative of Mr President.”
Reacting to Yusuf’s non-compliance with the suspension, Omomeji told TheCable that the suspended ES misinterpreted the act he cited.
Omomeji explained that that the governing board suspended Yusuf, not sack him.
He said by suspending Yusuf, the board lived up to its role as an ambassador of the anti-corruption crusade of the president.
“The council has the power to suspend him and he remains suspended. Not only on suspension, he is to face a panel,” he said.
“They are both appointees of the president. Should there be any infraction among them, the council can resolve to put them on suspension.
“They are not sacking him. There are allegations of corruption against him. The panel has decided that he has to face it. So, he can be placed on suspension while the investigation is going on to ascertain the allegations against him.
“Among the reasons he was found wanting is an image capturing machine which the highest amount you can get it in this country is between 400 and 450 thousand naira, he quoted it as N7.5 million to the council.
“If the council had not been careful and had blindly approved it for him, they would say the council connived with him to steal our money. And this is the man going all around saying he is fighting corruption and corruption is fighting back. Who is fighting corruption, who is the corruption per se?
“The question is, corruption is what this government is fighting, right? The president cannot be everywhere so in our own capacity, anywhere we are, we are his ambassadors and we have to expose any act of corruption, no matter whose ox is gorged.
“He has been suspended. If he comes near the office, he will meet his water loo, let him accept it.”
