Munir stated this in Abuja where he added that the fund had also registered over 35,000 employers under the scheme and more than 500,000 workers since the scheme took-off in 2001.
 “The NSITF has paid over N200 million to injured workers from various sectors who sustained all kinds of workplace injuries since the scheme began. We paid this sum out of about N500million claims we received.
“It was after vetting and going through the processes that we paid N200million out of the sum. We have registered over 35,000 employers. The Federal Government has also been making its contributions and we have many states coming on board very soon. We have well over 500,000 employers covered under the scheme. We have been settling claims that we have received so far,” he said.
