“For us we are looking at an issue of a $1 trillion and one of those things that will enable it is the right corporate governance. As we begin to entrench the right corporate governance, then we’re going to have enhance shareholder value because it has been proven, that has a direct positive connotation, between corporate governance and corporate performance. If you look at corporate failures, whereas on account of technical insolvency, you have to put corporate governance at the center to understand why the business crashed.

The FRC Chief Executive, Dr Rabiu Olowo commenting on the theme of the summit said it is apt because of the importance of the public sector. “It is high time that corporate governance also looks into the public space.  We have enjoyed the success of corporate governance in private sector and that’s why the summit will expose to the public the work that the financial reporting Council is doing to come up with a code of corporate governance for public institution.

“The National Corporate Governance Summit is designed to be a distinguished and impressive gathering of minds examining changes, trends, challenges best practices in corporate governance in Nigeria with the focus on the impact on national transformation.

“It serves as a premier platform that assembles practitioners, industry leaders, experts, professionals to discuss critical issues that shape the governance landscape in public and private organizations while offering unmatched networking opportunities that promote knowledge exchange, brand recognition and collaboration.

“The major outcomes 2022 summit include the need to improve and deepen corporate governance principles and practices in every organization in Nigeria be it public or private and practices in every organization in Nigeria. I believe that this particular outcome is not unconnected to the fact that today the FRC has exposed the code of corporate governance for the not for corporate sector and also for public institution. So it means that the outcomes of previous summit is being taken seriously.

“It also included under publication of corporate governance compliance checklist by all Nigerian companies detailing any gaps and timelines to comply. It also includes to strive to incorporate ethical, based governance system in both private and public sectors of the Nigerian economy, to determine, set and enforce entry standards for people, indeed, in organizations and public institutions.”
