ICAN elects Onome Joy Adewuyi as new President
Jun 3, 2020
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) has elected new officers to run its affairs for the next one year.
Dame (Mrs.) Onome Joy Adewuyi BSc, MSc, ACPIN, FCIB, FCA emerged as the 56th President.
Her investiture took place after an election on Tuesday, June 2, 2020 at the Institute’s Secretariat in Victoria Island, Lagos.
In her acceptance speech and inaugural address, Mrs. Adewuyi promised to partner with the government to redefine national values, economic priorities and resource utilization strategies such that the mass of the citizenry can be lifted out of avoidable poverty.
According to her, ICAN would leverage its professional expertise to support players in the informal sector, whose unsung value-creating activities will define the position of the nation on the ladder of sustainable development.
She lamented the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty being experienced by Nigeria, adding that the nation is at a point in its economic development where all hands must be on deck to address the ugly situation.
“According to the 2019 World Bank Human Development Report, 53.5% of Nigerians live below poverty line of US$1.9 a day. I am inclined, like many analysts, to believe that the situation is even worse considering the high rate of crime and criminality all over the country.
