President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the reinstatement of the suspended Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Usman Yusuf. Yusuf's reinstatement was contained in a letter signed by the Presidency. The letter directed Mr. Yusuf to work closely with the minister upon resumption.


Yusuf was suspended by the Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, in June 2017, following allegations of gross misconduct. A panel of enquiry commissioned by the minister to investigate the suspended NHIS Chief later found him culpable of infractions that ranged from nepotism to theft of public funds.


The NHIS chief denied any wrong doing. Attempts to reach the Minister of Health failed as he neither answered the phone nor replied text messages.
