Tinubu appoints Zubaida Umar as NEMA DG
President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Zubaida Umar as the director-general of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
This is contained in a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the President on media and publicity, on Friday in Abuja.
Mr Ngelale said the new DG of NEMA has over 20 years of work experience in diverse fields, including human resources and finance and administration.
According to him, she is a member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers and the Institute of Credit Administration.
As executive director, finance and corporate services at the Federal Mortgage Bank, Ms Umar drove the strategy and repositioning of the bank into a modern, digitised mortgage and financial service provider.
“The President expects that the new Director-General will bring the much-needed financial and operational discipline and refashion the agency into a performance-driven and proactive emergency response provider with a focus on prevention and climate change readiness,” he said.
