The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) is strict with privatised enterprises on corporate governance issues, Director General of the Bureau, Mr. Alex A. Okoh has said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Receiving the Executive Secretary of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) of Nigeria, Mr. Daniel Asapokhai, who led other management staff of the Council on a courtesy visit to the Bureau on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, Okoh further said that it was because of the Bureau\u2019s strict stance on corporate governance issues that a code of conduct has been put in place for the government appointed directors on the privatised enterprises.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the Bureau in its commitment to transparency, accountability and corporate governance ensures that privatised enterprises during the lock-in period provide timely audited accounts of the enterprises.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier, the Executive Secretary of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, Mr. Daniel Asapokhai, had said the purpose of the visit was to present a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Council and the Bureau on how best the two organisations could work together. \u00a0<\/span>
\nHe decried the practice where directorship on the Boards of public entities in the country was based on serving the interests of individuals and zones; and said that the Council was working to address the issue. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
