A former chairman of the now-defunct Pension Reform Task Force, Abdulrasheed Maina, slumped on Tuesday while accessing his office and is currently hospitalised in Abuja.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday by his media assistant, Barr Emmanuel Umahi Ekwe, Maina reportedly lost his balance due to complications arising from an untreated knee injury, causing him to fall and hit his head on a staircase.
The statement said medical personnel at the scene promptly administered first aid before he was transported to a private hospital in the Federal Capital Territory for urgent medical attention.
He is currently under close medical observation.
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.”
“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.
“His family and medical team continue to monitor his progress closely.
“The family appeals to the public for prayers, understanding, and respect for their privacy at this critical time. Further updates will be communicated as developments unfold,” the statement read.
