Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, has called on Chartered Accountants in the country to fully participate in politics as their professional ideas are invaluable to the growth and development of the country.
Mimiko, who was represented by his Commissioner for Finance, Chief Yele Ogundipe, made the call in Akure on Tuesday while declaring open the 5th Western Districts Conference of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN).
The governor commended the leadership of ICAN for choosing ‘Wealth Creation in a Developing Economy: The Chartered Accountant as a Link’ as its theme, saying that it was fit for the dream and aspiration of the government.
“This is perfectly fit for our dreams and aspirations as a government and could best be described as a theme worthy of deliberations at a time like this when finding the right mix of policies that will birth rapid and efficient service delivery, has become a challenge for many governments in Nigeria,” he said.
He said that in achieving the goal of wealth creation, government must set the example through the delivery of projects and services that would transform the socio-economic landscape of the country. This, he maintained, he had been doing in his state since assumption of office two years ago.
Earlier in his keynote address, the ICAN President, Major General Sebastian Owuama (rtd.) had posited that wealth creation is all about people, the economy, and poverty alleviation in the face of challenges.
He added that poverty alleviation is about a state providing the necessary infrastructure for empowering individuals to create wealth for themselves, their families and the nation as a whole.
According to him, “the private sector is very crucial to wealth creation, and if this sector is efficiently managed, it would facilitate the creation of new jobs, new business opportunities, new markets, and prosperity, thus rescue citizens from poverty.”
On the role of Chartered Accountants in achieving wealth creation, Owuama said they should ensure that people have accurate and consistent information while making investment decisions.
He urged Chartered Accountants to gear their commitments towards finding solutions to issues that would lead to improvements in the quality of people’s lives.
Apart from the main theme, thought-provoking papers on the sub-themes of “Funding SMEs to grow the national economy” and “Effective deployment of ICT in wealth creation” were delivered at two plenary sessions of the Conference.
There were also two workshop sessions which featured “Accountability and Trust: A panacea for good governance” and “Health Management and Wealth Creation”.
