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.
TITOPE BLOG reports that 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."
