Buhari sacks Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission boss
The Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has terminated appointment of Saratu Umar as the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission, but no reason was given on the development.

The Presidential spokesperson Femi Adesina disclosed the sack on Thursday, adding that in a directive to the Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Richard Adeniyi Adebayo, the President also mandated the most senior Director in the Commission to immediately take over in the interim.
‘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’, Adesina wrote.
