Presidency speaks on ‘dismissal’ of NACA DG, Sani Aliyu

“In this regard, false reporting to the effect that he was sacked for one reason or the other is unhelpful to his legitimate aspiration. He left on his own.’’

It was reported that the Permanent Secretary, General Services in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olusegun Adekunle, on Tuesday announced the appointment of Gambo Aliyu as the new Director-General of NACA.

He said the appointment of the new head of NACA, which was approved by President Buhari, was in line with the provision of Section 8, Sub-Section (4) of National Agency for the Control of Aids (Establishment) Act, 2007.

Adekunle disclosed that Aliyu’s appointment as the Director-General of the agency was for an initial term of four years.
