He emphasised the importance of integrity and accountability among public officials, vowing to uphold the agency’s mandate.
His words, “I want to thank Mr. President for appointing me into this position. Really happy, and I want to assure Mr. President and the people of Nigeria, I will do my best to make sure that I deal with this huge task that is ahead of me.
“I assure you that we have the systems, we have the institutions. We only need to deliver on the mandate that is given to us, and then everything will be all right,” he added.
