Secretary to the Government of
the Federation, Boss Mustapha on Monday declared that no governing board of a
Federal agency or parastatal has the power to remove the Chief Executive
appointed by the President,
The declaration came amidst
controversy over the suspension of the Executive Secretary of the National
Health Insurance Scheme(NHIS).
The board may “however articulate
infractions, investigate wrong doing and make recommendations to government
through the supervisory ministry”, Mustapha further clarified.
He made the clarification at an
induction programme for governing board members of federal parastatals,
universities and medical centres at the Transcorp Hilton. The CEOs were also in
attendance.
According to NAN, the induction,
the second in the series, was organised by the Bureau of Public Service
Reforms, in conjunction with the DFID.
On 18 October, the chairman of
the NHIS board, Ifenne Enyanatu announced the indefinite suspension of the
executive secretary, Prof. Usman Yusuf, eight months after a similar suspension
by the minister was annulled by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Enyanatu said the governing
council resolved to suspend Yusuf because it had received several petitions
against the NHIS boss. She said the board had the permission of the minister of
health to suspend Yusuf, pending investigation.
“We consulted and got the
approval of the Minister of Health before this suspension, ” she said.
However, Yusuf ignored the order.
Mustapha certainly had the NHIS
in mind when he gave the clear-cut clarification on Monday.
He said government was concerned
that most governing boards have not understood their roles in the corporate
governance of the agencies they superintend.
He then went on to list some of the
recurring infractions being committed by the boards.
Some of them are undue
interference by board chairmen in the day-to-day activities of their
parastatals and agencies, blatant disregard for extant regulations guiding the
conduct of board meetings.
Others are alleged interference
in the function of the CEOs, issuing directives to staff, without recourse to
the CEOs, imposing disciplinary measures against the CEOs, in flagrant
violation of the laid down rules and using labour unions as agents of distractions
in the agencies.
The government secretary also
gave further clarifications about the roles of the boards and ministers.
The role of the boards, he said,
are limited to setting operational and administrative policies for their
agencies in consonance with government policy directives.
“A Board shall not be involved
directly in the day-to-day management of a parastatal or an agency. A Minister
exercises control of parastatals at policy level through the board of the
parastatal only.
“The board must only operate as a
part time board, in accordance with extant rules that forbids allocation of
official quarters to members on a permanent basis and payment of estacode
allowances for only overseas travels approved by the Office of the Secretary to
the Government of the Federation and their part-time Ministry.”
