President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday asked the Senate to confirm the re-appointment of Umaru Ibrahim as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC).
Buhari, in a letter addressed to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, dated 31 October, 2016, said the reappointment was in accordance with Section 5 (4) and 8 (3) of the NDIC Act.
It would be recalled that Ibrahim was first appointed NDIC boss in 2010 to serve a term of five years.
After completing his first five-year tenure, Buhari, in January 2016, asked him to stay back and continue managing the Corporation in active capacity.
Ibrahim, who holds a Bachelor’s degree (1974) and Master of Public Administration (1977) from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, joined NDIC in 1989 as a Deputy Director in charge of Finance and Technical Supports.
But before NDIC, he had worked in the Kano State Public Service for 10 years and rose to the position of Permanent Secretary.
