Yusuf Usman, executive secretary,
National Health Insurance Scheme, has accused corrupt individuals of trying to
deter him from fighting against graft.
Usman said this in reaction to
criticisms concerning his reinstatement as executive secretary of National
health Insurance Scheme by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The NHIS boss appealed to
Nigerians to disregard the misinformation against him in the media, alleging
that corruption was fighting back.
He said this at a public hearing
on a bill for a law to provide for a Contributory Healthcare Management Scheme
for all residents held in Sokoto on Thursday.
He said “Corrupt individuals are
bent on destroying his career, disregard the misinformation in the media.
“It is corruption that is
fighting us and we will fight them back. People should not be distracted by
what they hear in the media. In fact, when I came in as the NHIS Executive
Secretary, I realised that we can help our people especially the poor to access
health care services.
“We are working for the people in
order to make sure that they get what they deserve. So, we will never be
deterred by the antics of corrupt interests,” he said.
