My administration promises to consolidate on the achievements recorded by his predecessor and ensure that ESVARBON carries out its statutory functions and mandates as stipulated by the law. We would address all the barriers capable of impeding the supervisory role of the board.”

It has been three years of focused and sterling leadership with an abundance of achievements and fulfilment of statutory mandates.

The registrar and I had in the last three editions of the annual ESVARBON Newsletter articulated the achievements of the board within the pendency of my term as the chairman. The boat is now coming to anchor as my tenure came to an end yesterday, Sunday, March 17, 2024.

It is not about just being a board member but that we are happy to be board members. We are not regretting that we are working together, “Stephen added.
