Meanwhile, President of BRIPAN, Chimezie Ihekweazu buttressing on the reason for the summit in the Southeast emphasised that the zone is one of the country’s most vibrant commercial base adding that with such a thriving business environment requires the structured intervention modern Insolvency and business rescue practice provides.
He also maintained that the association remains committed to aligning Nigeria’s Insolvency framework with global best practices strengthening judicial understanding through training expanding partnership with regulators and financial institutions,and promoting the practical application of the ‘rescue first’ philosophy that modern Insolvency practice encourages.
