Buhari Approves Abubakar Nuhu’s Nomination as Acting DG of NDE
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the nomination of Mallam Abubakar Nuhu Fikpo as the Acting Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment pending the appointment of a substantive Director-General for the Agency.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said Buhari conveyed the approval to the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN.
President Buhari had, last month, relieved the former DG of the agency of his appointment, and directed the Minister to nominate an Acting DG to superintend over the Agency pending the appointment of a substantive DG.
