Kyari reaffirmed this on Friday at the ECOA-Africa
Fellowship Investiture Ceremony where he was honoured with the Honourary
Fellowship Award of Ethics and Compliance Officers Association.
In a statement endorsed and released by the Group General
Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr. Kennie Obateru, stated that the
NNPC GMD was among other prominent leaders honoured in recognition of their
commitment and promotion of ethical leadership.
The GMD who was represented by the Group General Manager,
Governance Risk & Compliance, Mr Chris Akamiro said in his acceptance
speech, “I want to assure you that NNPC under my leadership, will continue to
be transparent in its operations, render complete and timely Financial
Statements to all stakeholders and be repositioned for profitability for the
benefit of over 200 million Nigerians”.
Kyari expressed gratitude to ECOA-Africa for the recognition
and urged leaders not to shy away from the increasing demand by stakeholders
for stewardship accounting.
“We must all embrace this sweeping call for accountability
in the use of resources entrusted to leaders. It is for this reason that the
Top Management of NNPC, under my leadership, launched the Transparency,
Accountability and Performance Excellence (TAPE) agenda,” he said.
He listed some of the successes recorded under the TAPE
agenda to include the publication of the 2018 and 2019 NNPC Audited Financial
Statements, adding that though they earned the Corporation a few knocks, “they
also brought a lot of commendations and encouragement for us to do better in
the coming years”.
Speaking on reasons for the award, President and Chairman of
ECOA-Africa’s Council, Professor Bassey Ubom, said the GMD was selected for the
award in recognition of his forthrightness and compliance to ethics of good
leadership, adding that the Corporation has seen much positive changes under
his watch.
