President Muhammadu Buhari has terminated the appointment of the Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), Saratu Umar.
Mr. Femi Adesina, the President’s spokesman, who confirmed this development in a statement on Thursday in Abuja said that her removal is to take effect immediately.
In a directive to the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, Richard Adebayo, the president also mandated the most senior Director in the Commission to immediately take over in the interim.
Buhari had in July 2022 approved the appointment of Hajiya Saratu Umar as Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the NIPC for a fresh term of five years.
Umar was first appointed to the position in July 2014.
