17/06/2019
Ethiopia’s Leather Industry Development Institute (LIDI) has a new director general, according to local media reports. Dagnachew Shiferaw is the man who has been chosen to take over this role.

He replaces Bogale Feleqe, who held the position for just six months after taking over from long-serving director Wendu Legesse at the end of 2018. 

Mr Shiferaw has most recently head of the Cooperative Promotion Agency in the state of Oromia. He also previously led this region’s transport agency.
