EFCC recovers N900 million for NHIS

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says if has recovered an additional sum of N900 million for the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

The commission’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said the money was part of the funds which some Deposit Money Banks fraudulently withheld since 2015, and refused to remit into the NHIS’ Treasury Single Account (TSA).

The commission the amount added to the N1.4 billion earlier released to the scheme on 5 August 2022.
