The Lagos State Health Management Agency, LASHMA, has cautioned residents against making ILERA EKO health insurance payments into private accounts, warning that such requests are fraudulent.  

Permanent Secretary Emmanuella Zamba, speaking in Alausa, Ikeja, emphasised that LASHMA operates a strict zero-cash policy. She stated that the Lagos State Health Fund is the sole authorised account for health insurance payments.

Dismissing claims circulating on WhatsApp that enrollees were not being activated on time, Zamba described the information as false. She clarified that enrolment is processed from the 26th of each month, following the premium payment deadline on the 25th.  

Since its full launch in 2020, LASHMA has consistently activated enrollees monthly, ensuring seamless access to healthcare for residents.
