President Bola Tinubu said Nigeria has become more transparent that ever, vowing that his administration will be deploying cutting-edge models to achieve financial reporting and process standardisation.
Tinubu also affirmed Nigeria’s commitment to diligently implement world-leading sustainability reporting standards aimed at unlocking capital investments, transforming business models, and safeguarding the environment in the country.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President spoke during a meeting at the State House in Abuja, with the Chairman of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), Mr. Emmanuel Faber.
The meeting coincided with the launch of Nigeria’s Adoption Readiness Roadmap by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC) in collaboration with ISSB.
