The Association of National Accountant of Nigeria (ANAN) says it is optimistic that President Muhammadu Buhari will assent to its Amendment Bill before leaving office on May 29.
Prof. Benjamin Osisioma, the President, ANAN, said this when he signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Chartered Institute of Management (CIM) in Abuja on Thursday.
The MoU was aimed at deepening professionalism among members of two bodies through exchange of ideas and knowledge.
Osisioma who was leaving office after the expiration of his tenure, said that his desired was to leave ANAN better than he met it.
He said that the amendment bill had gone through the Senate and the House of Representatives and hopefully on May 2, it will pass through votes and proceedings.
On the possibility of Buhari’s assent to the bill before leaving office, he said, “there is nothing you can be sure of, but we pray for the best, we can only hope and believe.”
“We are people of faith, we pray the president assent it because it is for the benefit of this nation, it won’t stop us from doing what we are doing but we will be more efficient with what we are doing.”
He said, “in few days, I will be leaving office and my successor is waiting on the wing. My stay was fruitful, I have had my best.
“We wish we could say we are perfect but even our shortcomings was not borne out of any deliberate infractions.”
Mr Olumide Adedoyin, the Registrar, CIM said the MoU was on reciprocity gesture which would help the two institutes to function effectively.
He said the move was to ensure that the knowledge the duo had were made available to qualified members.
‘’We want to make sure that those that are qualified in ANAN can actually applied for membership of CIA without any inhibition,’’ he said.(NAN) www.nannews.ng
