The atmosphere was filled with excitement and admiration as the inductees embarked on their mission to champion transformation, marking the beginning of a new chapter.
The President and Chairman of the Governing Council, Mallam Ahmed Ladan Gobir, FCIPM, fnli, opened the ceremony by acknowledging the significance of the 60th Induction milestone. He welcomed the inductees into a new era of professional excellence and reminded them that CIPM is not only Nigeria’s apex HR body but also a globally recognised powerhouse.

With the theme: “Driving Organisational Agility and Resilience: Navigating Uncertainty and Adapting to New Challenges”, the address was timely and thought-provoking. As Mallam Gobir aptly put it, the theme serves as the “survival manual for today’s business landscape.” He further emphasised, “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
The ceremony also featured the esteemed Mrs. Rita Olarewaju, FCIPM, who was the guest speaker. Drawing on over 30 years of experience across the oil and gas, consulting, and financial services industries, Mrs. Olarewaju provided invaluable insights into driving organisational agility and resilience, guiding both inductees and attendees through actionable steps for sustaining organisations during times of uncertainty.
Among the distinguished inductees was Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed, MCIPM, of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), who was inducted into the Full Membership grade of the Institute.

During the ceremony, Ngozi Nwammana emerged as the overall best graduating student. In her speech as the valedictorian, she said, “The CIPM examinations were challenging, but I set a goal and remained committed to it. Most importantly, I was greatly supported by God, surrounded by loving family, wonderful siblings, friends, and mentors who encouraged me to keep pushing forward, even when faced with challenges.”

She added, “Today, I proudly stand here – not only for myself but alongside my fellow inductees – to say that we are not the same people we were a year ago, six months ago, or even three months ago. We have transformed into Associates of this esteemed professional body.”
In her final words, Ngozi encouraged aspiring students to continuously apply themselves to knowledge, improve, and seek excellence.
