The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday said it has recovered an additional sum of One Billion, Four Hundred Million Naira (N1.4 Billion) for the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS.
According to the Commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, the money which was released to the NHIS on August 5, 2022, is part of the funds, which some commercial banks fraudulently refused to transmit to the Treasury Single Account, TSA, since 2015.
Uwujaren told the Network on the telephone that the Commission had earlier recovered N1.5 billion from the NHIS which was released to the scheme in February.
“It will be recalled that the Commission had in similar fashion on February 10, 2022 released a sum of N1.500, 000,000 (One Billion Five Hundred Million Naira) to the Scheme.” The statement reads.
