Fatima Buhari, the daughter of Nigeria’s former President Muhammadu Buhari, has been appointed as the first ambassador for the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN).
Fatima’s appointment comes shortly after she was inaugurated as the Coordinator for the Katsina State chapter of the Professional Women Accountants in Nigeria (PROWAN).
The announcement was made during a dinner organized to honour the new leaders of the organisation, where its National President, James Neminebor, officially confirmed Fatima Buhari’s ambassadorial role.
Neminebor urged the new executives to dedicate themselves to serving ANAN and encouraged them to uphold high standards of professionalism and commitment within their states. He emphasized that their leadership would strengthen the influence of ANAN across the country.
Speaking, Neminebor acknowledged the Katsina State Government for its ongoing support of ANAN’s mission. He noted that adopting professional accounting services is essential for good financial management and transparency in both the public and private sectors. He called on other state governments to support ANAN’s efforts to improve financial accountability throughout Nigeria.
Commenting on the appointment, Fatima Buhari expressed pride in her role as the first ANAN ambassador, describing it as a groundbreaking achievement for women accountants in Northern Nigeria.
“This milestone is not just a celebration of achievements, but a testament to the resilience, dedication, and professionalism of women accountants across this region and the nation at large,” she said.
