Dear Esteemed Professional Colleagues,
As we celebrate the Father’s Day today, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the remarkable fathers within our CIPM family. Today, we honour not just the role you play in your professional life, but the profound impact you have in your homes and communities as fathers.
Fathers are the pillars that uphold the values and strength of the family unit. You are the guiding stars that lead with love, wisdom and unwavering support. On this special day, we recognise and celebrate your dedication, sacrifices and the boundless love you pour into shaping the lives of your children. We also appreciate your selfless contribution to our dear Institute, managing both roles with such professionalism. Thank you!
In the words of Charles Wadsworth, “By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.” This quote beautifully captures the journey of fatherhood—the wisdom you impart, the lessons you teach and the enduring legacy you create. It is a reminder of the unique and irreplaceable bond between father and child, a bond that evolves, grows and strengthens over time.
As the President of CIPM, I am deeply honoured to extend my heartfelt wishes to each one of you. May this Father’s Day bring you joy, appreciation and the love of your family. You are not just exceptional professionals but also extraordinary fathers who inspire us all.
Thank you for being the champions of fatherhood, for nurturing future generations, and for being the heartbeat of your families. Enjoy this special day, and may it be filled with the warmth and happiness you so richly deserve.
Happy Father’s Day!
Long live CIPM!
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
CIPM…we deliver value through people.
