ECOVIS OUC pledges support for BRIPAN in business recovery drive

ECOVIS OUC Chartered Accountants has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the Business Recovery and Insolvency Practitioners Association of Nigeria (BRIPAN) in advancing business recovery and ethical insolvency practice across the country.

Speaking while welcoming the President and Council Members of BRIPAN to the firm’s office in Lagos on October 29, 2025, Andrew Uviase, managing partner commended the association’s leadership for its transformation agenda and contribution to national economic stability.

According to him, BRIPAN’s shift in emphasis from insolvency to business recovery reflects a forward-looking approach that aligns with modern economic realities. “We are particularly pleased with the transformation of this great body from insolvency practitioners to an emphasis on business recovery from an undertaker to a doctor that saves lives,” he said.
