ANAN Tasks Accountants On Cashless Policy
The Association of
National Accountants Of Nigeria (ANAN), has tasked accountants in the country on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cashless policy initiative in the country.
The president of ANAN, Alhaji Sakirudeen Labode, stated this while addressing newsmen in Lagos, on Friday, after the formal inauguration of Professional Women Accountants (PROWAN).
Labode urged female accountants to take a lead role in educating their fellow women about the benefits and challenges of the cashless policy initiative in Nigeria.
He said members of the newly formed association are in position of trust to always uphold the ethics of the profession, advising them to shun all forms of harassment and intimidations in the discharge of their duties .
The ANANs’ President said that there is no doubt that Nigeria’s female population is a powerful hidden engine for economic growth of the country, stressing that as professional women, they should ensure that enlightenment campaigns on the cashless policy are taken to the grassroots for minimum understanding and effect.
He urged them as female accountants to play a key role to tackle corruption and engender transparency and accountability.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
