The Federal Government on Monday suspended the controversial Corporate Governance Code which led to the stepping down of Pastor Enoch Adeboye as the overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church if God in Nigeria.
The code which was enacted by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria was suspended on Monday in a statement by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Okechukwu Enelamah.
The statement issued by the minister’s Strategic Communication Adviser, Constance Ikokwu, said the code was suspended in order to carry out a detailed review of its application.
The statement reads in part, “The Corporate Governance Code issued by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria has been suspended, pending a detailed review, extensive consultation with stakeholders and reconstitution of the board of the FRC.
“Government remains committed to restoring and enhancing market confidence and improving the Ease of Doing Business in Nigeria.
“Government is committed to strengthening FRC and enhancing its capacity to fulfill its core mandate.”

“we sharpened a knife, Knife cut a Baby’s hand and, we threw away the knife, doesn’t matter; the Knife has done its job already” – Yoruba proverb. The FRC La has forced the Governing Council of RCCG to take some irreversible decisions thereby creating more problems i.e. RCCG now has a G.O and a N.O/Worldwide G.O. Now, on Baba Adeboye’s depature, RCCG Worldwide will be left in a situation looking for who becomes the Worldwide G.O. And Vice President Yemi Osibajo was there and this is happening right under his Nose! may God help our Leaders from spirit of hypocrisy.
