In her remarks, Buhari, the inaugural ambassador, expressed pride in establishing the PROWAN chapter, calling it a groundbreaking achievement for women in Northern Nigeria’s accounting profession.

“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.

She added that the new chapter is dedicated to elevating women’s voices in a traditionally male-dominated field and creating opportunities for future female accountants in the North-West zone.

The state governor, Umaru Radda who was represented at the event by his deputy, Faruq Jobe, reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to supporting ANAN, emphasising its partnership in promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance in the state.
