The Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Prof. Usman Yusuf, has alleged that the Health Maintenance Organisations are responsible for his current travails.
Yusuf testified before an Ad Hoc Committee of the House of Representatives in Abuja on Friday .
Already he has been directed to proceed on administrative leave, following allegations of financial services infractions levelled against him by the Governing Council of the NHIS.
The ES claimed that he incurred the wrath of the HMOs because he came to expose corruption in the NHIS.
He told the reps panel which is chaired by Mr Nicholas Ossai that, “HMO cartels are behind all these issues at the NHIS, they are untouchable and they are behind threats to my life and security.”
The panel is still ongoing at the time of this report.
