Why NSITF management seeks redress in court over suspension from office   

The need to ensure justice and fairness in the probe of activities of the suspended management of Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) informed taking the matter to the Industrial Court, the Managing Director, Adebayo Somefun has said. 
 
Somefun, who was reacting to the allegation of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige that some of the management members of the Fund have taken himself and President Muhammadu Buhari to court over their suspension, denied taking the President to court but, following administrative processes in the probe. 
 
This comes as the Managing Director, the Executive Director Operations, Mrs Kemi Nelson; Executive Director, Finance and Investment, Jasper Azulatalam and Exective Director, Administration, Tijani Darazo stayed away from the probe panel headed by the Fund’s board member, Ibrahim Khaleel, saying their action was informed by the fact that the Minister, who is an interested party set up the investigative panel.  

Consequently, we approached the Industrial court for adjudication because the case is purely industrial in nature.”
