Buhari’s Govt Restores Pension Boss Sacked By Jonathan Over ‘N200 Billion Fraud’

The former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Force Team, Mr Abdulrasheed Maina, that was sacked under the Goodluck Jonathan regime has been reinstated by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.



SPY NIGERIA recalls that Mr Maina was sacked by the Federal Civil Service in 2013 after he was found to have allegedly swindlled pensioners out of N200 billion pension fund.

The former pension boss, as reported by Premium Times, was however secertely reinstated and promoted to rank of director in charge of Human Resources in the Ministry of Interior.

“He should not have been reinstated. Doesn’t Mr. Maina have a case in court? The rules provide for action to be taken only after the courts have dispensed of the case fully,” a retired director in the Office of the Head of Service told Premium Times.

The seventh Senate had indicted Maina of diverting the said pensioners’ fund into private accounts including that of himself, using fictitious names.
