Former Pension Reform Task Force chairman Abdulrasheed Maina has been hospitalised in Abuja after slumping while attempting to access his office on Tuesday.
A former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Force, Abdulrasheed Maina, slumped on Tuesday while trying to access his office and has been admitted to a hospital in Abuja. The incident was disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday by his media assistant, Emmanuel Ekwe, who attributed the development to complications arising from an untreated knee injury.
According to Ekwe, the injury caused Maina to lose his balance and fall, during which he struck his head on a staircase before receiving immediate medical attention. He said, “Dr Abdulrasheed Maina, former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, slumped on the evening of Tuesday, February 3, 2026, while attempting to access his office premises.
“The incident followed complications from an untreated knee injury, which caused him to lose balance and fall, resulting in his head hitting the staircase. Medical personnel present promptly administered first aid, after which they rushed him to a private hospital in Abuja for urgent medical attention.”
Ekwe added that Maina remains under close medical supervision, with doctors monitoring his condition, while his family has appealed for privacy. “Dr Maina is currently receiving intensive medical care and remains under observation. Following a preliminary medical assessment, one of the attending doctors advised that arrangements for an air ambulance medical evacuation be considered should his condition fail to stabilise within a short period.”
