The content of the write-up as regards the Executive Secretary/CEO of the Commission is very frivolous, false, malicious, amounting to a misrepresentation of facts.
In order to put the record straight, the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), NIPC unit’s meeting held on July 14, 2014, never deliberated or discussed any issue of file (s) stagnation in the office of the Executive Secretary, or discussed any issue pertaining the Executive Secretary’s manner or mode of operation.
As a matter of fact, the Executive Secretary is barely two months old in the commission, and has been busy studying the hand-over notes and strategizing on how to reposition and make the commission the gold standard of excellence and international best practices on the continent and a world class investment promotion agency comparable to any in the world through sound corporate governance practices.
 The union has since issued a statement to express their absolute confidence on the competence of the Executive Secretary to discharge her duties and move the commission forward and the union has never written any petition against the person and office of the Executive Secretary/CEO.
The Executive Secretary since assumption of office has marshaled out 12 points ‘Transformation Agenda’ for the realization of the commission’s mandate in line with her vision to make the organization the gold standard of excellence and international best practices on the continent and a world class investment promotion agency comparable to any in the world.
Her 12 points Agenda includes, sound corporate governance practices, effective risk management framework,  appropriate best-in-class IT Infrastructure, enterprise-wide performance management system, standardized processes and policies, an organizational culture of ‘international best-practices’ and a high level of professionalism.
Certification by the International Standards Organization (ISO) to attain process maturity and enhance NIPC’s service delivery, reliability and efficiency; business process optimization-engineering and management, for efficiency, timeliness and effectiveness; Rating by an International Rating  Agency to enhance NIPC’s standing and credibility, accountability, continuous innovation and dynamism to reflect a global and world class outlook. Effective Communication and engagement with various stakeholders and staff welfare and motivation.
 From the foregoing, the Executive Secretary has proven her competence and capability to discharge her responsibility in the commission, including the provision of good governance to the administration of the organization.
