Speaking after her swearing in, Okeke promised to uplift the institute to greater heights while using the expertise she learnt over the years.
She stated that the institute provides an avenue to entrench corporate governance in public and private organisations with the aim of strengthening the capacity of individuals.
“I want to appreciate everyone that made this day possible. My career as a chartered secretary started back in London and the
experience the institute has bestowed on me has made me ready to take it to greater and more amiable heights.
“I want everyone to know that we are doing this together. So, I need your contributions and suggestions,” she said.
While appreciating efforts of previous executives of the institute, she said: “I accept the leadership which will present its challenges but an avenue to continue doing the great work that has been done.”
She sought the support of its members through constructive criticisms and recommendations of initiatives that would be helpful to its members.
On his part, the President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), Chief Emeka Obegolu, disclosed plans to partner with the institute in training its workforce on corporate governance.
