Explain reason for Agara's return as NDE DG after resignation - Lawyer tells Tinubu - Daily Post Nigeria

Lawyer and rights advocate Barrister Danladi Azizi has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to explain the return of Silas Agara as Director General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) after he resigned to contest the senatorial election in Nasarawa State ahead of the 2027 general election.
