Prof. Osisioma said they were at the Government House to intimate the Governor on the progress of the body and the new ANAN University which was approved recently by the Federal Government.
He said ANAN has continued to make progress having been given a conducive environment to flourish in Plateau State since establishment. This he said made the body to turn down overtures by other States to relocate ANAN College from Jos.
The ANAN President said the body has embarked upon many social responsibility projects which have been completed. These include school renovation and water provision within the host communities.
He appealed to the Governor to fulfil his promise of assisting the ANAN University in constructing a library as well as the road leading to the institution.
Responding, Governor Lalong said he was proud of the achievements of ANAN which has come a long way in building professionals in the accounting profession and building a solid institution that has metamorphosed into a University.
Plateau State he said will continue to support ANAN in its efforts to develop the nation through producing sound professionals that are capable of managing the resources of the nation in a transparent and open manner.
He commended ANAN members for contributing to the success of the Rescue Administration as they have added a lot of impetus to the transparency and accountability rating of the Government which has earned Plateau State awards at the national level.
