President Tinubu Names New Heads for NPC and NDE.

New Directors-General have been nominated by President Bola Tinubu to the National Population Commission (NPC) and the National Directorate of Employment (NDE).

The selections were announced separately on Saturday, July 13, in Abuja by Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesman.

The announcement states that the President has accepted the appointments of Mr. Baffa Dan Agundi as the new Director-General of the National Productivity Centre (NPC) and Silas Agara as the new Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE).

Agara was the deputy governor of Nasarawa State before becoming an entrepreneur and sports administrator. President Tinubu "anticipates an overhaul of the NDE for optimal performance in designing and implementing programmes to combat mass unemployment," the statement continued.

Dan Agundi, the new Director-General of NPC, was the majority leader of the Kano State House of Assembly before. In addition, he served as the Kano State High Court of Justice's Principal Registrar.

“The President anticipates the Director-General’s utmost dedication and patriotic zeal in driving the Centre’s mandate of developing a national culture of excellence in operational efficiency and institutionalizing a performance-driven orientation toward measurable productivity in the citizenry for the overall enhancement of service delivery and quality of life across the nation,” the statement added.
