TINUBU APPOINTS AGARA AS NEW DG, NATIONAL DIRECTORATE OF EMPLOYMENT
President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mr. Silas Agara as the new Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment.
Agara, who previously served as the Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, is an entrepreneur and sports administrator.
He succeeds Nuhu Fikpo, who former President Muhammadu Buhari appointed in May 2021.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed this in a statement he issued on Saturday 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.”
The NDE was established in November 1986 and began operations in January 1987.
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.
