Buhari fires Executive Secretary of Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria.

Following the abrupt exit of the General Overseer of RCCG Nigeria, President Buhari has ordered the immediate removal of Jim Obazee,

the Chief Executive/Executive Secretary of the financial reporting council of Nigeria (FRCN).

FRCN played a major role that led to Pastor Adeboye relinquishing his position as head of the RCCG Nigeria. Following Obazee's removal, President Buhari has ordered a re-constitution of the council's board. 

A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, announced the President’s decision.

“He has appointed a Chairman and a new Executive Secretary for the council. The new Council as approved by the President has Mr. Adedotun Sulaiman, MFR, as Chairman.

“Mr. Sulaiman was a former Managing Partner/Director of Arthur Anderson and later, Accenture. He is a Chartered Accountant and a product of the University of Lagos and Harvard Business School.

“The President has also approved the appointment of Mr. Daniel Asapokhai as the Executive Secretary of the Council. Mr. Asopokhai is a partner and a Financial Reporting Specialist at the PricewaterHouseCoopers, Nigeria.

“He is a product of the University of Lagos and the University of Pretoria. President Muhammadu Buhari has also instructed the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment to invite the nineteen ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government and private sector organisations specified in the FRC Act to nominate members of the board of the council.”
