ALLEGED WIRETAPPING: COURT REJECTS EL-RUFAI’S NO-CASE SUBMISSION, ORDERS HIM TO ENTER DEFENCE A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to enter his defence, if he so desires, in his ongoing trial over the alleged unlawful interception of the telephone communications of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik gave the order on Monday while ruling on El-Rufai’s no-case submission. The judge dismissed the application, holding that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to warrant calling on the defendant to enter his defence. The court adjourned the case until November 25 for the defence.

“We inherited over ₦1 billion in liabilities, including unpaid fees to healthcare providers and 13 months of outstanding capitation to health centers,” Akindele disclosed.


“Clearing this debt was my top priority, and I can now confirm that we have settled all outstanding payments.”


He further highlighted the agency’s steady growth under the new administration and reaffirmed its commitment to delivering quality healthcare to enrollees.


Commitment to Affordable Healthcare


The Chairman of the OSHIA Board, Dr. Muyiwa Oladimeji, stated that the retreat was designed to reinforce the agency’s dedication to providing affordable healthcare under Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration.


Osun State Head of Service, Mr. Ayanleye Aina, also reassured that the government remains committed to supporting OSHIA.


According to him, all civil servants in the state are now required to enroll in the health insurance scheme.


“We are taking necessary steps at the MDA level to encourage participation. In fact, enrollment in the scheme is now mandatory for all civil servants,” Aina added.
