Dr. (Mrs.) Mary Aimuyedo Temitope, a Deputy Bursar at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), has been elected as the Chairman of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Kaduna State Chapter.
Temitope, who also serves as the Head of Accounts at the Centre for Human Resource Development (CHRD) in Kaduna, was praised by former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmad Muhammad Makarfi, during her investiture as the 23rd Chairman of ICAN Kaduna District and Society. Makarfi, who is a member of the institute, described Temitope as a "workaholic and a goal-getter," highlighting her election as evidence of the increasing prominence of women in leadership roles across various sectors in Nigeria. He noted that this trend is gradually breaking down traditional gender barriers and fostering success.
