The newly appointed Executive Secretary of National Health Insurance Scheme, Prof. Mohammed Sambo, on Thursday, pleaded with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to remit the recovered stolen funds in the custody of the commission.
Sambo made the request when he led the management team of NHIS on a visit to the EFCC headquarters, Abuja. “In the past years, the EFCC has helped in the recovery of funds for NHIS; we are also soliciting the commission for the remittance of the institution’s funds still in custody of the commission,” Sambo said.
This was contained in a statement by the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren. Explaining why the scheme needed the recovered funds, Sambo said, “We have beneficiaries of the NHIS down to remote villages and we need these funds in growing the organisation.”
