In her remarks, Fatima Buhari expressed her pride in becoming ANAN’s first ambassador, calling it a significant achievement for women accountants, especially in Northern Nigeria.
“This appointment is not just a personal accomplishment, but a recognition of the hard work, resilience, and dedication of women accountants across the region and the entire country,” she stated.
Fatima’s new role is seen as a positive step towards increasing the visibility and impact of professional women in accounting, paving the way for greater gender inclusivity in the field.
