The President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. Boss Mustapha, will be among the dignitaries for the 2020 investiture and induction into the Ethics and Compliance Officers Association (ECOA) Africa.
The President of ECOA and Chairman of Council, Prof. Bassey Ubom, who disclosed this in Abuja through a statement, said other expected dignitaries included the Head of Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, and the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mallam Mele Kyari.
Prof. Ubom said ECOA was a professional membership association and research institution with a focus on enhancing an organisation’s compliance with the highest standards of ethics in governance.
He also said the association aimed to encourage through advisement and consultation to build and sustain a system that was proven to increase integrity in organisations’ mandates.
He further said, “The association is also for individuals who are responsible for their company’s ethics, compliance and business conduct programmes.
“Dedicated to building trust and corporate integrity in Africa, we help leaders create strong ethical workplace cultures and successful businesses that do the right thing.
“As ethics and compliance officers, we partner with various government agencies and private organisations to foster growth and development of adherence to ethical behaviours and compliance with established standards and codes. And our membership is cut across countries of Africa.”
