On the other hand, Dr Nasir Sani-Gwarzo, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, in a statement congratulated Ari for his reappointment and therefore advised him to consolidate on his successes recorded so far in the first term in ITF to further ensure the realization of President Buhari’s Administration agenda on job creation and youth empowerment.

The Street Journal had earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari has made a new appointment at the Independent National Electoral Commission.
President Muhammadu Buhari asked the Senate to approve the appointment of Chukwuemeka Chukwuka as the INEC Commissioner representing Abia State.
Buhari’s new INEC appointment was made known in an executive communication read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan on Tuesday, July 22 at the plenary.
The letter reads in part: “I am delighted to forward the name of Mr Chukwuemeka Chukwuka as INEC Commissioner nominee representing Anambra State.
“This is in consonance with section 14(3) of the 1999 constitution as amended.”
The senate president referred President Buhari’s letter to the Senate Committee on INEC to revert in two weeks time.
It was earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari nominated 27 persons as Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Senate President Bukola Saraki on Thursday read a letter from the presidency requesting the confirmation of the 27 nominees in compliance with the provision of the section 14(3)(a) of the
Third Schedule to the 1999 Constitution.
The letter,as seen by the media, was dated February 27 and signed by Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo at the time he was acting on President Muhammadu Buhari’s behalf.
But the letter was at the office of Mr. Saraki on Tuesday, February 21.
Since March 4, 33 states have been without RECs, who head the operations of the Independent National Electoral Commission at sub-national units, the commission confirmed.
Therefore, even when the 27 nominees are confirmed, six states will still not have RECs.
