ICAN hails Adeola on national award

The Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigeria (ICAN) has congratulated Senator Solomon Adeola,  chairman of the Senate Committee of Finance on the Commander of the Order of Niger (CON) national honour award conferred on him by President Mohammadu Buhari recently.

Presenting a congratulatory letter to the senator in his office on behalf of the President of ICAN, Mallam Tijjani Isa, Dr. Innocent Okwuosa, vice president of the institute said the award was in recognition of his invaluable contributions to the development of the nation adding that the award was “ a testimony to your track record and well -rounded professional career.”

The ICAN President further said: “It is our believe that you will continue to discharge your responsibility with integrity and exemplary leadership style that have distinguished you as one of the most respected technocrats Nigeria can boast of today.”

Adeola, a Fellow of ICAN in his response said he was excited with the knowledge that his institute appreciated his efforts in keeping the flag of the accountancy profession flying in Nigeria as a technocrat in government stressing that he is proud of the training and retraining offered by the institute to all accountants.

“I will continue to be part of the effort to ensure that ICAN remains the foremost accounting body in Nigeria responsible for maintaining the highest standards, values and ethics of the profession.
