The Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has recalled the suspended Executive Secretary, Osun Health Insurance Scheme, Dr Niyi Oginni.
Recall that Okay.ng had reported that Dr Niyi was asked to step aside by the government last December, following an alleged gross violation of office.
A statement signed by the spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, obtained in Osogbo on Tuesday, said Adeleke noted that Oginni’s suspension was premised on the review of the report of the Contract and MOU Committee, as well as, the “disturbing reports of imminent collapse of the state health insurance scheme.”
Adeleke further said the decision to suspend the OHIS secretary was also linked to the need to comply with public service regulations which stipulated procedures and conditions for discipline and management of public servants.

“The recall of Dr Oginni from suspension takes immediate effect.”
