Dear Esteemed Professional Colleagues,
On this special occasion of Eid-el-Maulud, I extend warm greetings on behalf of the Governing Council of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM).
As we mark the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), we are reminded of the values of compassion, integrity and service — values that also underpin our mission at CIPM. As HR professionals, we play a vital role in shaping organisations and society by fostering collaboration, respect and fairness in the workplace.
This celebration is an opportunity for us to reflect on how these timeless values can guide us in our daily interactions and leadership, especially as we face the complexities of a rapidly evolving world. By embodying these principles, we strengthen our commitment to excellence in people management.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of our upcoming 56th International Conference and Exhibition (ICE), themed ‘Managing People and Businesses for Resilience.’ As the largest gathering of HR professionals
in Africa, I look forward to seeing you all from October 14th-17th, 2024, at the Chida Event Centre in Abuja. It is a unique opportunity to share knowledge, connect with industry leaders and drive the future of HR together. This is our conference, and with your support, we can make it a remarkable success.
May this Eid bring you joy, peace and renewed strength to continue making a positive impact in our profession.
Mallam Ahmed Ladan Gobir, FCIPM
President and Chairman of the Governing Council Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM)
