How a Professional Accountant is Bringing Professional Discipline Into Taraba’s Entertainment Industry
By Kemuel, October 15, 2025.
The new President of the Taraba State Entertainment Industry (TSEI), Uloko Timothy Emmanuel, CNA, CCrFA, is proving that creativity and professionalism can indeed walk hand in hand. His recent induction as a Professional Accountant with the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) marks a significant milestone that blends financial discipline with artistic passion.
For Uloko, the journey toward professional excellence was neither quick nor easy. His story is one of determination, gratitude, and a deep sense of purpose, a journey that began with a simple dream of becoming both a responsible leader and a credible professional.
“This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the love, encouragement, and support I received from several wonderful people,” Uloko said, expressing heartfelt appreciation to friends, family, mentors, and colleagues who supported his studies and professional induction.
Being a member of ANAN grants Uloko official recognition as a Professional Accountant under the ANAN Act No. 76 of 1993, empowering him to practice professionally and uphold the ethics of accountability and transparency.
He believes these same principles are essential in the entertainment industry, which, according to him, must be managed with both creativity and corporate integrity.
“Professional recognition comes with responsibility,” he noted. “It challenges us to uphold transparency, discipline, and trust in every endeavour.”
Uloko’s training at the Nigerian College of Accountancy (NCA) in Jos exposed him to advanced accounting practices and global standards. Through ANAN’s structured workshops and professional development programmes, he honed skills in leadership, finance, and strategic management, qualities he now brings into his role as TSEI President.
“ANAN didn’t just make me a professional; it shaped my mindset,” he reflected. “It taught me that excellence requires structure, ethics, and empathy.”
Incorporating Financial Accountability in Entertainment
As head of Taraba’s creative sector, Uloko is pioneering a shift from informal artistry to structured, accountable entertainment management. Drawing from ANAN’s ethical values, he envisions an industry where transparency, contract fairness, and proper record-keeping become the norm.
“Entertainment is not just art; it is business,” he emphasized during his inaugural speech. “We must handle our finances and our public trust with integrity.”
Through ANAN’s membership in international accounting bodies such as the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the Pan-African Federation of Accountants (PAFA), Uloko has gained access to global best practices that guide his leadership style.
He plans to leverage this exposure to foster collaboration, attract investors, and elevate Taraba’s entertainment industry to national prominence.
True to his humble nature, Uloko acknowledged those who contributed to his success. He mentioned Mr. Machoko Emmanuel, High Chief (Dr.) Adi Pajo, Mr. Enenche Agbo Junior, and especially his wife, Mrs. Judith Uloko, whose emotional and financial support sustained him throughout his academic and professional pursuit.
He also extended appreciation to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel Idoko Uloko, and his uncle, Joseph Clement, for their prayers, guidance, and encouragement.
“My wife’s sacrifice and my parents’ prayers gave me strength. This milestone is as much theirs as it is mine,” he said with emotion.
For Uloko, ANAN membership is not only about personal prestige, it represents a commitment to ethical service and lifelong learning. It connects him to a national community of accountants whose core values mirror his vision for transparent and sustainable leadership.
As the Taraba State Entertainment Industry enters a new era, Uloko Timothy Emmanuel CNA, CCrFA AKA MC Network, stands as a living example that professionalism and passion can coexist and that true leadership begins with accountability.
