The United Kingdom based leadership development organisation, TEXEM UK, says the appointment of Prof. Almustapha Aliyu as Non-Executive Director on the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) is well deserved.
In a statement on TEXEM’s website, www.texem.co.uk, it’s Director, Special Projects Caroline Lucas said Aliyu, an alumnus of TEXEM UK, have participated in its programme “Strategic Leadership For Success in an Unknown Tomorrow” designed for the Tax Appeal Tribunal.
Lucas said the bespoke initiative, held from May 15 to 19, 2023, equipped participants with the strategic foresight needed to navigate the complexities of an ever-changing future characterised by geopolitical risks and a slowing global economy.
She said the new appointment conferred by President Bola Tinubu, is a testament to Aliyu’s exceptional leadership journey.
“Before assuming this pivotal role, Prof. Almustapha Aliyu distinguished himself as a Tax Appeal Federal Commissioner, serving on the Tax Appeal Tribunal with other erudite professionals.
“His commitment to fairness, diligence, and a profound understanding of fiscal matters made him an invaluable asset to the Tax Appeal Tribunal.
“However, Prof. Aliyu’s journey to the boardroom is marked not just by his contributions to tax appeals but also by his relentless pursuit of knowledge and leadership excellence,” Lucas said.
She said that Aliyu’s commitment to leadership extends beyond the corporate realm as his roots lie in academia.
“Beginning his career as an academician, he quickly emerged as a thought leader in public sector accounting.
“His contributions to the field, coupled with his role as a faculty member at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, demonstrate a commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders.
“As Prof. Aliyu assumes his role on the board of NNPCL, we anticipate a confluence of academic wisdom, fiscal acumen, and strategic vision,” Lucas said.
According to the TEXEM director, the appointee’s multidimensional background positions him uniquely to contribute to the sustainable growth and success of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.
Lucas said that Aliyu is among individuals who in the ever-evolving realm of leadership, not only navigate change but also steer organizations toward success with unwavering dedication and expertise.
“TEXEM UK takes immense pride in having Prof. Almustapha Aliyu as part of its illustrious alumni network.
“His journey from academia to the tax sector and now to the corporate boardroom exemplifies the transformative impact of continuous learning and leadership development.
“In congratulating Prof. Almustapha Aliyu on this remarkable achievement, we celebrate not just an individual’s success but the embodiment of TEXEM UK’s commitment to shaping leaders who drive positive change in their respective spheres,” she said.
Lucas said as Aliyu embarks on this new chapter, the TEXEM family is confident that he will bring the same passion, intellect, and foresight that have defined his career thus far.
TEXEM UK’s founder, Dr Alim Abubakre also spoke on the new appointee.
