Inaugurating the TWG at the ministry’s headquarters yesterday in Abuja, minister of industry, trade and investment, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, particularly commended the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC) for the bold step it has taken at ensuring that corporate/good governance practices are enshrined in the public sector space.

According to him, the latest effort was coming after the Council issued the private sector code called Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance (NCCG) 2018.

He explained that the purpose of public sector governance code is to ensure that the public sector fulfils its overall mandate, achieves its intended outcomes for citizens and service users, and operates in a very effective, efficient, transparent and ethical manner, engender public accountability of government resources; ensure sustainability of government-owned entities amongst others.

“Many of you are well familiar with the earlier journey of developing Codes of Corporate Governance for the Private Sector, the Public Sector and Not-For-Profit-Organisations in Nigeria. The journey had been very challenging and contentious, but we are today proud that the Nigerian Code of Corporate Governance (NCCG) 2018, has been successfully implemented since its issuance on January 15, 2019. Looking at the composition of the Technical Working Group being inaugurated today, I am optimistic of the success of the Public Sector Governance Code,” he said.

The Code when developed, shall be applicable to all ministries, departments and agencies of government, all state-owned entities and all parastatals.

Adebayo, therefore, charged members of the technical working group to deploy their wealth of experience in developing a very robust Code that would play a unique role in enthroning higher standards of good governance and ethical practices in the public sector thus helping to rebuild public trust and investor confidence in the Nigerian economy.

Members of the Group headed by a former Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Barrister Danladi Kifasi, are drawn from the public/civil service, relevant professional bodies & associations, regulatory agencies on ethical conduct/practice, civil/advocacy organisation.
