Reactions have continued to trail the sack of Mr. Jim Obazee, the Executive Secretary of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN) by President Muhammadu Buhari who has also ordered the reconstitution of the council\u2019s \u00a0board.<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Obazee\u2019s sack was announced Monday in a statement by Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President according to NAN.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The statement announced Obazee\u2019s replacement. He is\u00a0Mr. Daniel Asapokhai,\u00a0a partner and a Financial Reporting Specialist at the PricewaterHouseCoopers (PWC), Nigeria.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

He is a product of the University of Lagos and the University of Pretoria.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr.\u00a0Adedotun Sulaiman, will serve as the board chairman. He\u00a0was 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.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Obazee has been in the eye of the storm since his council was linked with the controversial resignation of Pastor Enoch Adeboye as the General Overseer of the Redeemed\u00a0Christian Church of God.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

The council has been implementing a Governance Code introduced by the Council \u00a0that stipulates a maximum 20 year tenure for heads of churches and civil society organisations.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Adeboye was the first to announce his retirement based on the rule and this stirred confusion and controversy within his church and outside.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reports indicated that Obazee had run into problem with some ministers in President Buhari\u2019s cabinet who wanted him, as far back as October 2016, \u00a0to suspend the implementation of the rule. \u00a0The Obazee insisted on\u00a0its implementation.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many church leaders are opposed to the rule.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
