Embattled Usman Yusuf

The governing council of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) has suspended the Executive Secretary of the scheme, Usman Yusuf, indefinitely.

According to the council, his suspension followed allegations of infractions. It has, therefore, set up a panel to investigate the allegations.

The panel is expected to submit the report in three months.

Meanwhile, Mr Yusuf has immediately been replaced by Sadique Abubakar as the acting Executive Secretary of the scheme.
