He continued; “We must however ensure that we stay on that journey and we keep raising the bar. I want to use this opportunity to say that we are together. There is no two sides, we only have one side, and that is the side of Nigeria.”
He continued: “One of the things we do is to work with institutions like you. We are happy with the work we have done with you on this beneficial ownership. We believe on or before 1st of January 2020 the register of beneficial owners in the Nigeria extractive industry will published.
“We are working with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to also get the beneficial owners of all companies in Nigeria.
“Our primary concern is the beneficial ownership in the extractive industry. Like I said, ee are confident that it will be ready by January 1st 2020.”
