 President Mohammed Buhari today in Abu Dhabi received a delegation from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, ICANN. The delegation was led by its president, Mrs. Comfort Oluay Tio. The president assured them that his administration would continue to engage experts to gain measurable and reliable results. He noted that professionals in various fields, especially accounting, provide a strength and framework for thriving economies. President Buhari noted that the contribution of the Institute in ensuring poverty, accountability and transparency cannot be overemphasized, urging more diligence and professionalism. The president of ICANN appreciated President Buhari and his administration in adhering to best accounting practices, principles and ethics to secure and revive the economy. For this very important meeting, I know the accountants are not very popular in most of our institutions because nobody wants to account for what he is doing. Thank you very much. You are an envious institution in the sense that it needs a lot of brains and discipline to qualify, which is not very common and which is hard work involved in it is not a very favorable issue for us in Nigeria. If the less we work and the more we get, the better for us. I thank you very much for coming. I wish I would demand a comprehensive report or a visit so that I can look at it because I very much respect your competence as social stabilizers and for accounting of our sources. This is a well-deserved elevation, even though you have distinguished yourself as the Vice President of ICANN, served as a member of the Governing Council of the Institute since 2007 and chaired several committees of the Institute which include the Finance and General Proposies Committee, the Technical Research and Public Quality Committee, Professional Examinations Committee, and the Annual Accountance Conference Committee. As a female president in a male dominated profession, you are an example to our young girls of what can be achieved through hard work and diligence. It is equally noteworthy that the Finance Act is now a regular part of our budget process to make the Appropriation Act realizable. We wish to suggest however that a more robust process be put in place to engage professionals across disciplines to determine budget and project implementation and to capture value for money for all government projects. When this is done, our Appropriation Act can achieve its true purpose and access.
