“It is true that the president has reinstated him,” Mr. Adewole said. The reinstatement letter urged Mr. Yusuf to work closely with the minister upon resumption. For the minister to cooperate with Mr. Yusuf will not be easy, said Eluma Asogwa, a legal practitioner. “This is a humiliation of the minister,” Mr. Asogwa told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone Tuesday night. “He has sent a wrong signal and encouraged insubordination amongst heads of agencies against ministers.” “This has now become a growing trend that does not portend well for our polity, it does not even augur well for the anti-corruption war of the president,” he said. Mr. Yusuf, 54, took over the state-run health insurance provider on July 29, 2016. But his reign at the agency has been fraught with graft controversies. The suspension came weeks after the Senate launched investigations into his activities as the NHIS chief. The lawmakers accused Mr. Yusuf of “corrupt expenditure of N292 million” which he allegedly spent on health care training “without recourse to any appropriate approving authority.” The NHIS chief denied any wrongdoing.
