help Nigeria and Africa in general to have a stronger economy.
“This MoU between ICAN and CIMA will last for five years, and it is a
collaboration between ICAN and the Association, who is also representing
the Institute of Management Accountants UK to collaborate in terms of
sharing ideas professionally and the reciprocity with regards to our
members who want to become members of CIMA and also CIMA members

BadibangaPormesse, described the MoU as a winning formula for the
Accounting profession in Nigeria and Africa.
According to him, “the agreement means everything. We care about the
profession of Accountancy;we care about African economies; we care
about Nigeria. So, for us coming together under the umbrella of the
Association of International Certified Professional Accountants to agree on
some terms and conditions and to sign this agreement with ICAN here in
Abuja, Nigeria is a winning formula for the profession”.
A source close to CIMA said the partnership between both CIMA and ICAN
is a continuation of CIMA’s efforts to reskill finance professionals in Africa
to meet the needs of an evolving world.
“Backed by the strength of the Association of International Certified
Professional Accountants which is the new global organisation formed by
CIMA and the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), CIMA will continue to
work on equipping finance professionals in Africa with the education and
resources they need to go beyond for the future”, the source volunteered.

NAWOJ: SEKINAT, CHARITY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE 

 

The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.

 

This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

 

The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.

 

According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.

 

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.

 

According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.

 

She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.

 

While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.

 

She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
