A three-member delegation from the Kenya Accountants and Secretaries National Examinations Board (KASNEB), Kenya, Francis A. Okubo, Peter K. Gachobe, Peninah N. Nduati, paid a courtesy visit on Friday October 31, 2025 to the Registrar/Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Chris Onalo of the National Institute of Credit Administration (NICA), chartered, at the Institute’s headquarters in Lagos.
The visit was aimed at gaining deeper insight into NICA’s structure, programmes, and professional operations, as well as exploring ways to promote credit management education and awareness in Kenya, similar to the impactful work NICA is doing across Nigeria.
During the interactive session, the delegation commended NICA for its leadership in institutionalizing professional credit management and for its sustained efforts in advancing credit administration as a key driver of national economic development. They expressed keen interest in understanding how NICA’s model could be adapted to the Kenyan context to strengthen professional credit practice and financial discipline within the East African region.
In his response, Prof. Onalo welcomed the visitors and appreciated their initiative in seeking collaboration. He provided an overview of NICA’s vision, governance framework, educational programmes, and membership structure, emphasizing the Institute’s commitment to fostering professional excellence, ethics, and innovation in credit management. He noted that NICA remains open to strategic partnerships that promote the growth and global recognition of the credit profession.
The visit concluded with a group photograph session, marking a shared commitment to future collaborations that will enhance credit education, capacity building, and professional development across the continent.
