This recognition is an affirmation of the values that guide our work: transparency, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to regulatory excellence,” he stated.
Dr. Maida noted that the award is both a validation and a responsibility, reassuring the Commission’s commitment to creating an environment where operators can thrive, attract investment, and sustain healthy competition, ensuring consumers enjoy the best possible choices.
The PEBEC Director-General, Zahrah Mustapha-Audu, said the event was organised to celebrate reform champions and highlight progress made in improving the country’s business climate. Vice President Kashim Shettima, who chairs the council, said the awards reflect the government’s commitment to a more efficient and competitive public service.
