He appealed to the management of the fund to extend their support to his successor, Mr Afiz Oluwatoyin.
Mr. Ari urged them to be selfless in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities, with a view to helping to sustain the organization’s track record of being one of the ”best” in the country with a diligent workforce.

The new D-G of the Fund , Mr. Mr Afiz Oluwatoyin represented by the Director, Vocational Skills Development Department, Mr James Abimbola described Mr. Ari as a reformer and pledged to build on the achievements he recorded in the fund.
