He commended the state government for making education free at all levels, adding that such gesture would accelerate the development of the state.
Alkali said that the institute appreciated the giant strides of the state government in health and agricultural sectors.
He said that he was ready to render useful advice to the state government if contacted.
In his remark, Dakingari commended the institute for its efforts in bringing sanity to the accountancy profession.
