Former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, Mr Silas Ali Agara on Wednesday assumed office as the Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment, NDE.

In a brief ceremony at the Head Office in Abuja, he pledged to introduce innovations geared towards achieving the core mandate of the NDE in line with the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

Agara until the new appointment on Saturday July 13, was the Federal Commissioner representing Nasarawa State at the National Population Commission, NPC.

The NDE was established in November 1986 and began operations in January 1987.

It was meant to address the effects of the economic recession of the 1980s, which led to a profound drop in capacity utilisation and consequent outright closure of industries in Nigeria.
