President Muhammadu Buhari has terminated the appointment of Hajiya Saratu Umar as the Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), with immediate effect.
This is contained in a terse statement by presidential spokesperson Femi Adesina on Thursday.
“In a directive to the Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Richard Adeniyi Adebayo CON, the President also mandated the most senior Director in the Commission to immediately take over in the interim,” the statement said.
President Muhammadu Buhari had in July 2022 approved the appointment of Hajiya Saratu A. Umar as Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of NIPC for a fresh term of five years.
However, she has been having running battles with directors of the council.
