The Accountant-General of Abia State, Dr. Mrs. Njum Uma Onyemenam,FCA, has commended Governor Alex Chioma Otti for his consistent support for accountants and the accounting profession in the state.
She gave the commendation while speaking with journalists shortly after the celebration of the 2026 International Accounting Day, organised by the Abia State Government in collaboration with Abia State accountants at the JAAC Building, Ogurube Layout, Umuahia.
The celebration, which had the theme, “Beyond Numbers: The Conscience Behind the Nation’s Confidence,” brought together accountants to celebrate professionalism, excellence, integrity and ethical standards in the accounting profession.
Dr. Onyemenam described Governor Otti as a leader who believes in the accounting profession and has consistently demonstrated commitment to recognising and supporting accountants since assuming office.
She urged accountants in the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to reciprocate the governor’s support by maintaining professionalism and supporting his administration.
According to her, the accounting profession goes beyond figures and calculations, stressing that accountants must allow conscience, integrity and ethical values to guide the presentation and management of financial records.
She noted that although numbers remain central to accounting, the credibility of financial information depends largely on the integrity and professional conduct of those responsible for handling them.

The Accountant-General further challenged public financial officers to discharge their responsibilities with a strong sense of conscience, reminding them that their duties involve serving humanity, God, the nation and the people.
She explained that the annual celebration provides an opportunity for accountants across the world to reflect on their responsibilities, appreciate their profession and renew their commitment to excellence and accountability.
