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.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, made this known in a statement he signed on Thursday titled ‘President Buhari terminates appointment of Saratu Umar as NIPC boss.’
Umar’s sacking comes barely a week after a scathing report unearthing fault lines in the Commission’s administration.
The report alluded the challenges to the NIPC boss’ “incompetence and mismanagement.”
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.”
In 2015, former President Goodluck Jonathan sacked Umar as NIPC boss but she was reappointed by Buhari last year.
