The appointment is expected to bring extensive experience in accounting, auditing, risk management, and corporate governance to the Financial Reporting Council, the agency responsible for setting and enforcing accounting, auditing, actuarial, valuation, and corporate governance standards in Nigeria.

Industry stakeholders have welcomed the development, noting that the appointee's vast experience in the private sector and professional services industry will support ongoing reforms aimed at improving the credibility of financial reporting and enhancing investor confidence in Nigeria's economy.
