ICAN inaugurates Dala & District Society in Kano

The President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Chief Davidson Chizuoke S. Alaribe has inaugurated the newly approved Dala & District Society of ICAN in Kano.

The president inaugurated the pioneer chairman and sworn in the first executive committee members of the district.

Speaking at the event on Saturday, the ICAN President charged the newly appointed chairman and executive committee members to be good leaders, take the district to the next level, and seek counsel from past leaders.

“Chairman, I urged you to collaborate with your senior colleagues and seek their advice. If I receive reports that you are not respecting them, I will call you to order. But I don’t want to do that. Work with them. Collaborate with them. And even if you join programs, ensure that you take on roles in PANI, PASCOM, and then strive to establish more district societies,” he said.
