The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has recovered an additional sum of N900 million for the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
According to a statement issued on Saturday by the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, the sum was part of monies which some Deposit Money Banks fraudulently withheld since 2015, and refused to remit into the NHIS’ Treasury Single Account (TSA).
The recovered funds were released to NHIS on February 8, 2023, two days shy of one year, when the EFCC, on February 10, 2022, also released the sum of N1.5 billion recovered from the banks to the NHIS.

This is in addition to the N1.4 billion earlier released to the Scheme on August 5, 2022.
The Executive Secretary of NHIS, Prof. Muhammad Nasir Sambo, on July 29, 2021, commended the EFCC for assisting the Scheme in the recovery of funds fraudulently trapped in the vaults of some commercial banks.
