The Chartered Institute of Treasury Management (CITM) has called for stronger collaboration among Nigeria’s professional bodies to enhance the country’s financial system.
In a statement issued by its Registrar and Chief Executive, Adedoyin Olumide, CITM congratulated the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) on its 60th anniversary, commending its contributions to the accounting profession and national development.
Olumide highlighted that CITM was established by the Chartered Institute of Treasury Management Act, 2021, with a mandate to strengthen Nigeria’s financial architecture through a specialised focus on treasury management, including liquidity management, financial risk management, and corporate finance.
He noted that the mandates of both ICAN and CITM are distinct but complementary, stressing that developed economies thrive on synergy between professional bodies—an approach Nigeria should emulate.
“Partnership and inclusivity are key to advancing our financial sector. CITM remains committed to working with all professional organisations to raise treasury management standards and support economic growth,” Olumide stated.
