Speaking, when she received the visiting President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Alhaji Ismaila Muhammadu Zakari, in her office, the NPA boss, added that she would strengthen collaboration with the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigeria (ICAN) and other similar bodies to help enhance capacity building of personnel of the organisation.

Usman, who had the Executive Director Finance and Administration, Mohammed Bello Koko, with her, added that the NPA administration would give priority consideration to fresh ideas and suggestions that would help improve efficiency in the authority being the gateway to the economy of the nation.
