Speaking to journalists after submitting the form to the Federal Commissioner in charge of the South East Zone of the CCB, Barr. Benedict Umeano, the he said: “As chief executives, we are meant to uphold the law. It is also incumbent on us to act lawfully, and what we have simply done here today is in line with the new direction of my career.
“As you also know, I am now migrating from the corporate environment to the public sector; and in the private sector, we have codes of corporate governance and here in the public sector, we also have the code of conduct for public servants.”
CCB federal commissioner, Barr. Umeano, commended Mbah for leading by example without delay.
