Following the sack of Nasiru Argungu, as the Director- General of the National Directorate of Employment, the Nigerian Senate on Thursday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to revisit the directive.
This is sequel to a point of order raised on the floor of the senate by the Senator representing Jigawa East Senatorial District, Ibrahim Hadejia.
According to the upper legislative chamber, the removal of Argungu could delay the take-off of the Federal Government programme aimed at providing jobs for 774,000 jobs.
The Senate is also asking President Buhari to probe the frosty relationship between Argungu and the Minister of State for Labour Festus Kayamo.
Recall, President Buhari on Wednesday relieved Argungu of his position as the Director-General of the NDE.
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu revealed that the president’s directive on the sacking of Argungu was issued on Friday, but effective from Monday, Dec. 7
