The probe panel set up by the Federal Government to investigate the crisis in the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS has recommended immediate sack of the agency’s Executive Secretary Usman Yusuf.
A copy of the report accused Yusuf of breaching the Public Procurement Act as well as the Public Service Rules.
The seven-man committee headed by a retired permanent secretary, Hassan Bukar, nonetheless, did not recommend Yusuf for prosecution.
The committee added that the NHIS boss, who has been on suspension since November twenty eighteen, had an unhealthy relationship with members of staff of the agency; local unions, health management organisations and health care providers.
This, the panel said, would have a negative effect on the health sector if he was allowed to retain his position.
