Some employees of the National
Health Insurance Scheme under the aegis of the Association of Senior Civil
Servants of Nigeria and the Joint Health Sector Union on Thursday morning held
a protest at the NHIS.
They demanded the removal of the
recently reinstated Executive Secretary, Prof. Usman Yusuf.
President
Muhammadu Buhari had reinstated the suspended Executive Secretary of the
National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Usman Yusuf.
The protest began about 40
minutes after Yusuf resumed at the headquarters of the agency in Abuja.
The workers who sang protest
songs said the reinstatement of Yusuf would thwart his investigation by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Addressing newsmen at the
premises of the agency, the Chairman of the NHIS arm of the union, Mr. Razaq
Omomeji, said the protests would continue until Buhari reverses Yusuf’s
reinstatement.
Omomeji said, “Yusuf had
bastardised the scheme and his return would only worsen affairs at the agency.”
