By Kwararafa Times Correspondent, Abuja.
His Excellency, Dr. Silas Ali Agara, has officially resumed office as the Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment, NDE.
His resumption on Monday at the NDE headquarters in Abuja has put to rest months of speculation over his next political destination, following his resignation to contest the Nasarawa North Senatorial District primary election.
Dr. Agara narrowly lost the contest to the incumbent Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, but remained steadfast and loyal to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
A strong promoter of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Dr. Agara is also a leading voice in the campaign for the President’s re-election in 2027.
Since Dr. Agara’s departure in May this year, activities at the NDE were observed to have slowed, with many staff and stakeholders awaiting his return to provide leadership direction.
Kwararafa Times observed palpable excitement at the NDE Headquarters on Monday as management and staff received the DG in a colourful ceremony held at the organisation’s conference hall.
In his brief remarks, Dr. Agara expressed appreciation for the warm reception and pledged to hit the ground running in advancing the mandate of the NDE — job creation, skills acquisition, and youth empowerment across the country.
His return, according to staff, marks the beginning of a new era of renewed vigour and commitment as the agency settles down for the task ahead under his leadership.
