President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday approved the appointment of Mallam Abubakar Nuhu Fikpo as the substantive Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE).
He also approved the appointment of Comrade Issa Aremu as the Director of the National Institute for Labour Studies (NILS).
The new appointments which are for a period of four years each will take immediate effect from today, May 18, 2021.
Before his elevation to the substantive position, Mallam Fikpo held the position in acting capacity.
A tweet by Garba Shehu, President Buhari’s media aide last Tuesday said, “Comrade Aremu has been a notable Trade Unionist who has risen through the ranks in the Trade Union hierarchy in Nigeria.”
