President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment Of Silas Agara as the new Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE).
This is according to a statement by Presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, titled ‘President Tinubu appoints new Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment.’
The President anticipates an “overhaul of the NDE for optimal performance in designing and implementing programmes to combat mass unemployment.
It was meant to address the effects of the economic recession of the 1980s, which led to a profound drop in capacity utilisation and consequent outright closure of industries in Nigeria.
Agara is an entrepreneur and sports administrator who previously served as the Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State.
He succeeds Nuhu Fikpo, who former President Muhammadu Buhari appointed in May 2021.
