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.
The approval was conveyed to the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, according to a statement issued on Monday by the president’s media aide, Mallam Garba Shehu.
Last month, the president 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.
