The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) has commended the Federal Government for the appointment of a substantive Chairman for the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).
Speaking in Lagos, the Director General NECA, Mr.Adewale-Smatt Oyerinde, said that “the success of any scheme or project depends on a good governance structure.
“The appointment of a substantive Chairman for the NHIA will not only strengthen the Institution but also reposition it to achieve its objectives.
“While urging the appointment and constitution of the boards of many other agencies, the director general of NECA urged the government to expeditiously appoint chairmen for other critical institutions like PENCOM, NDE, etc, in line with these agencies’ enabling Acts.
“The management of these agencies cannot substitute for governing bodies and as such, the enabling Acts detailed the independent and complementary roles of the boards and management.
“Beyond the inauguration of the Boards, there should also be strategic mechanisms to ensure that the boards function as envisaged by the Acts, rather than becoming a rubber-stamp for the Management.”
