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.

This is a testament that there is an anti corruption war going on. In the past, every body plays along and you don't hear of such cases. In this admin, monumental corruption by civil servants are being exposed and brought to public knowledge. It is in the government that the the Senate act of budget padding was exposed, jamb non remittance of funds were exposed, customs, FIRS and co started remitting.

If it were in the past, they will just negotiate an share the money while the poor masses remain impoverished.

I like this change

That is not correct. What is true however, is that he that comes to equity must come with clean hands.

The question here should be: Is the NHIS ES using corruption to fight corruption? Because that is the only way corruption can fight you back!

SO DR ADEWOLE THE MINISTER OF HEALTH IS VERY CORRUPT.

He should beware of Buhari who do not condone corruption.

If Buhari win the 2019 Presidential election he will definately sack Dr. Adewole.

Who was he going to present his report to? Buhari, Osinabajo, health minister or the board that suspended him. Was there an appoint already fixed for that date between and the higher authority he was presenting his report to. I expect an official diary exist to prove he already secured an appointment for that date and with the office he was presenting it to.

Half knowledge is very dangerous ... As a matter of fact, better to be born yesterday on an issue than parade half knowledge of it. There is no government that has exposed civil service fraud like the Jonathan administration. From payroll to pension. They didn't just arrwt somebody and made a show out if it. They put in place technology driven processes for detecting and eliminating systemic fraud.


There is a automated payroll management system today for all federally owners institutions including the military that curtailed Ghost worker and pension scheme fraud. BVN was introduced to track every account submitted as salary and pension accounts.mthat was how it was discovered that a syndicate operating for years actually owned hundreds of houses in Abuja alone even as civil servants ... The discoveries under Jonathan is available online.
Jonathan government introduce TSA to furnish incidence of lodgement of government funds in interesting yielding accounts by cicl servants.

Just wondered where you or who taught you that custom has not been remitting their revenues to the government even though custom has remained a key revenue generating agency for every government since time immemorial. Stating that firs doesn't remit revenue falls me you don't even know what the acronym stands for
