ICSAN, ICMR urge more corporate governance

The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria (ICSAN) and the Institute of Capital Market Registrars (ICMR) have called on stakeholders to uphold issues of sustainability to foster corporate governance.

This call was made by the President of ICSAN, Taiwo Owokalade, at 2023 company secretaries and registrars’ forum themed, ‘Sustainability and the Global Governance Workplace: The Role of the Corporate Secretaries, Registrars and Issuers’.

Owokalade stated that ICSAN has consistently promoted the ideals of corporate governance through periodic issuance of policy papers and guidance materials on corporate and public administration. He added that the forum was done in collaboration with ICMR as the two institutes share a common substratum of the professional landscape of corporate secretarial practice.

He said, “We need to situate the functions and responsibilities of the corporate secretaries, registrars and issuers within the emerging trends in global governance workplace, bringing out the utilities and dynamics of these functions and then make projections on how to make these not only more efficient and value-adding but also to make them sustainable,” Owokalade noted.
