He confidently expressed his confidence that the prudence control authority of the BOO, which monitors the ND, “to determine the protection and transparency of the building society and we have the right regulator and supervision equipment to work in the weaker areas.”
He also added that continuing to set details to create a society that does not apply to other ND is “an unnecessary approach”, he added.
