THE House of Representatives’ Committee on Finance grilled the Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Prof. Mohammed Sambo, on Monday, raising concerns over how the scheme had been spending its resources.
Members of the committee expressed anger as they scrutinised the books of the NHIS at an investigative hearing on revenue generation and remittance by ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government.
The lawmakers took turns to query several items on the list of expenses provided by the scheme in its written submission to the committee.
Deputy Chairman, Saidu Abdullahi, and members of House Committee on Finance criticised the N152,487,900 said to have been spent on procurement of hand sanitisers, face masks and gloves during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in 2020.
