President Muhammadu Buhari has tasked leaders of corporate organisations to harness technology to make positive contributions to their organisations and the nation.
The president gave the charge on Thursday in Lagos at the Institute of Directors (IoD) 2022 Annual Director’s Conference (ADC) with the theme, “Corporate governance and digital transformation: Leading purposefully for growth and sustainability.”
Buhari, who was represented by the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), said his administration was committed to providing the necessary legal support and framework to support the entrenchment of good corporate governance practices across various sectors of the economy.
He pledged his commitment to supporting the IoD by giving the institute’s chartered bill the necessary consideration to enable it to achieve its mandate. He also called for collaboration between the public and private sectors.
“The private sector has been identified as the driver of the economy and the public sector as the provider of the enabling environment for that; it is therefore pertinent for both sectors to collaborate in the interest of the country.
