Reinstate sacked NDE DG, Senate tells Buhari

The Senate on Thursday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to reinstate Dr Nasiru Argungu as the substantive Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment, who was sacked few days ago

It also called for a probe into the frosty relationship between Argungu and the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Kayamo (SAN).

The Senate stated that the removal of Argungu could delay the take-off of the Federal Government programme aimed at providing jobs for 774, 000 jobs.

The resolution of the Senate followed a point of order raised on the floor by the Senator representing Jigawa East Senatorial District, Ibrahim Hadejia.

Argungu was relieved of his post in a memo issued last week Friday, December 4, 2020, taking effect from Monday, December 7.
