FG To Reward Excellence in Public Enterprise Governance*

The Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) is set to announce the inaugural MOFI Excellence Awards, scheduled for second,(Q2) of 2026.

A statement signed by the Managing Director/CEO of MOFI, Armstrong Takang said “This milestone event underscores MOFI’s commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance across Federal Government-owned enterprises.

The MOFI Excellence Awards are a culmination of the Ministry’s efforts to establish a robust governance framework, aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reform agenda.

The MOFI Corporate Governance Scorecard, launched in April 2025, provides the foundation for evaluating Board and Management teams against global standards of transparency and risk management.

An independent technical panel, inaugurated last December by Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, will assess portfolio companies against stringent criteria, including regulatory compliance, Board effectiveness, and sectoral impact.

The ministry said “The MOFI Excellence Awards mark a structural shift in how Nigeria manages public enterprise: transparency is mandated, compliance is measured, and institutional outcomes remain the ultimate measure of fiscal discipline,” .

The Awards will recognise institutions that demonstrate exceptional governance, discipline, and performance, reinforcing the notion that “Good Governance is Not optional.”
