The Executive Chairman of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC), Victor Muruako, Esq., has reiterated the Commission’s unwavering commitment to promoting fiscal discipline, transparency, and prudent financial management in Nigeria, in line with the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) 2007, during his participation at the Fourth Quarter Risk Roundtable (QRRT) Held at Rock view Hotel Abuja organized by the Chartered Risk Management Institute of Nigeria (CRMI) in collaboration with TAJBank.
The high-level forum, which convened leading regulators, operators, and risk management professionals, served as a strategic knowledge-sharing platform to discuss emerging challenges and opportunities shaping both the Nigerian and global business landscapes.
According to Augustar Ehiaghalua, the QRRT has, since its inception, hosted over 5,000 participants, becoming a vital platform for capacity building and professional development in the risk management sector. This edition focused on strengthening institutional capacity, deepening professional competence, and enhancing leadership in risk governance amid evolving business dynamics.
In her keynote address, Dr. Jameelah Shirriff-Ayedun delivered an insightful presentation on “Ethical Imperatives for Finance in a Digital-First World,” emphasizing the need for integrity and ethical decision-making in financial management. Mrs. Amal Haruna also captivated participants with her discourse on “Risk Governance and Strategic Growth in a Digital-First World,” highlighting the crucial role of structured risk frameworks in achieving sustainable organizational success.
Representatives from notable institutions such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), First Bank of Nigeria, TAJBank, and several others were also in attendance.
The participation of the Fiscal Responsibility Commission aligns seamlessly with its statutory mandate under the Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007, which enjoins the Commission to ensure prudent management of the nation’s resources, long-term macroeconomic stability, and transparency in fiscal operations of all tiers of government. The engagement underscores the Commission’s resolve to collaborate with stakeholders in strengthening the culture of risk-informed fiscal governance and accountability across Nigeria’s public finance architecture.
