“We do boast of a great number of chartered accountants in Nigeria, and I am a very proud member of the institution,'' he said.

Ambode appealed to the ICAN president to help implore more of its members to come into the civil service and lend their experience s and professionalism.

''I am a very good student of good governance and we are committed to open, credible and transparent government.
