Usman Yusuf, Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), has claimed that he was suspended for refusing to release N975million to the Ministry of Health.

Yusuf stated this on Friday when he appeared before the House of Representatives panel investigating his suspension.

The NHIS governing board recently suspended him, after accusing him of financial infractions and abuse of office.

Addressing the house committee in Abuja, Yusuf alleged the panel that investigated him was bribed.

He said his “refusal” to grant the request from the Health ministry “led to the setting up of a panel to probe me.”

“And the panel delivered as the panelists were given N19 million, even the security too were given money,” he said.

Asked whether he has any evidence, Yusuf responded in the affirmative, saying, “I even have documented evidence of how the money was shared”.

Yusuf also revealed that the day the governing board announced his suspension, was the day he was meant to present a report on the violation of the public procurement processes at the agency.

“Why was I suspended on October 18 and not 19th of October? The 18th of October was the day I was going to present a result of the forensic audit of the activities of HMOs.

“Eighteenth of October was nothing but preemptive coup at the NHIS. It was a gang up to stop my fight against corruption.

“These are all allegations that have been recycled. They were all investigated by the ICPC and EFCC; and they found nothing and I was cleared. They wrote to me clearing me,” he said.

Yusuf denied illegally awarding contracts at will at the agency, but admitted that a company owned by his brother, Mohammed Kabir-Yar’Adua, was awarded a N406million contract at the agency.

He insisted that the company won the contract through due process in 2016.

On his part, the Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, insisted that Yusuf was justly indicted of corrupt practices.

Adewole, represented by Permanent Secretary at the ministry, Abdulaziz Abdulahi, insisted that cases of financial infractions were established against the NHIS executive secretary.

“All the allegations levelled against him are 100 per cent correct,” Abdullahi said.

we dont know who to believe again

They will definitely tell us corruption is fighting back..

God is watching

Get your Btc at #350/$ with us...Check below

Hmm

Na so

Where did you get all those policemen that helped you force your way into the secretariat?

Only a money man backed by government can pull that stunt. Public outcry has forced Buhari to reluctantly act just like the case of Babachir.

Take your evidence before the panel if you have any.

ok

If the man caught on video collecting Dollars can deny any wrong doing, I don't expect Yusuf to admit his.

Corruption in Nigeria knows no party, region or Tribe. Our Politicians appears bent on crippling this entity called Nigeria.

Awarding a Contract to his Brother is not justified on any ground because the issue of doubt on the award process will always be there.

Until we start killing these thieves like China, they won't allow our nation to grow

APC and corruption for a country borrowing and selling asset to fund budget and pay salaries the level of corruption is mind boggling everyone in government wants more and more. NLC, politicians, government contractors, banks

I don't believe this your story Oga, you should have raised alarm while on seat not now. Tell that to Gullible ones they will believe.

Hmm Nigeria my country!!

Government filled with liars, thieves, scammers, fraudsters & professional criminals.

Really?
So you didn't buy bond when they asked you not too?

I can't wait for a change in power at the Federal level...

The amount of jaw breaking corruption and fraud that will be uncovered would be breath taking and unfathomable!

criminal guy

Its all about the rot that killed our country, corruption.
All of them are fighting each other for selfish interests to enrich themselves.

Do u believe this lie? like for no share for yes

So it is now that you are telling us your own version of the story, I still do not believe you. Something is smelling.

Nigeria

Hmm

A thief will always have a story to tell

I believe that the HMOs are working in cahoots with the ministry of health.lets see the evidence

Make them first ask am where the 975million dey....

If they can give me like 100m, I'll help them get like 15 masquerades that would whip him him in the dream. He won't dare come back to that office.

They would pay me the money in real life, not dream o.

Nigeria

Our country

Nawa

Ghen Ghen ........

Hausa Fulani is the most entitled and double standard people i have ever seen. They cry corruption but pay no mind to procurement process, employment process , protocol and structure. They mismanage, embezzle but yet feel entitled and run their subordinates with a iron hand.

only two statements caught my attention.
1. you have evidence that money was shared to the members of the panel as well as security. that alone can nail the as.s of your accusers
2. your own brother won a contract worth 406 million after due process. fire Thunder u there.
both u and your accusers are criminals. may the more powerful thief win. same way I pray about pdp and apc...may the more benevolent thief win
