Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has suspended two agency heads in the state over alleged abuse of office and mismanagement.
The affected appointees are the Executive Secretary of Osun Health Insurance Agency (OHIS), Niyi Oginni and the Head of the Primary Healthcare Development Board in the State, Adebukola Olujide, Naija News understands.
A statement from the office of the governor through his spokesperson, Rasheed Olawale, said the government officials were found guilty of gross abuse of office, mismanagement of public resources and serial violations of agency and public service regulations and laws.
It noted further that all the directives are with immediate effect. According to Olawale, Governor Adeleke had announced a holistic investigation of the Public Procurement Agency (the Due Process Office) to determine the extent of its culpability in the non-remittance of tender fees to the State treasury and contract manipulation in the last four years. 
He explained that the state leader has also directed the Public Procurement Agency and other relevant government agencies to immediately kick off the process to recover all outstanding tender fees on contract awards, JVAs, and MoU to which the State government is a party in the last four years.
The statement reads: “The Committee in its recommendation, had unearthed the unethical practices of the suspended heads of the OSHIA and the Primary Health Care Board as manifested in contract awards without due process, non-remittance of an actual tender fee collected from contractors, contracts without value for money, like the PHCs and deliberate splitting of contracts.
“The Committee further found out that the suspended OHIS boss gave contracts to the tune of several millions of Naira to his own biological daughter and his own private Hospital in the Agency he is heading, while the Acting Career Head in the Primary Health Care lied on oath when she falsely denied knowledge of all contracts of infrastructures and supplies in the PHCs, resorting to bulk-passing and blame trading.”
