According to a report by Premium Times, Yusuf was suspended as a result of alleged fraud practices in the health insurance scheme.
The Senate had reportedly accused Yusuf of corrupt expenditure of N292 million which he allegedly spent on health care training without recourse to any appropriate approving authority.
However, Yusuf has denied the allegations saying he had neither been suspended nor involved in any fraudulent dealings at the NHIS.
