Dear Esteemed Member,
“Success is built on the shoulders of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, consistently.”
Today, we at CIPM pause to honour the lifeblood of our society — YOU.
You are the hardworking, driven, and inspiring individuals who make the world better through your dedication, resilience, and commitment to society, to your organisations, and to our Institute.
On this Workers’ Day, it’s not just about labour; it’s about recognition, gratitude and the celebration of human potential.

Whether you’re shaping strategy in the boardroom, mentoring teams, driving people-centered transformation from behind the scenes, or contributing to the growth of the Institute — you are the heartbeat of PROGRESS.

At CIPM, we recognise the strength, resilience and brilliance you bring to the Institute, your organisations and to the advancement of our nation. Your dedication is what turns policies into practice, plans into performance, and teams into tribes.

As part of our commitment to giving back to our Members, we are excited to announce a special initiative:

We are PARTNERING with Profit All, the leading no-code commerce and logistics platform, to launch an exclusive e-commerce platform for our Financially Active Members.
This initiative will enable you to shop from a wide range of trusted merchants at highly discounted costs — a tangible way of showing our appreciation for all you do.Please watch out for more details on this in the coming days.
This year’s celebration comes with a renewed call: Let us continue to be catalysts of value, champions of fairness, and guardians of wellbeing. Let us lead with empathy, innovate with integrity, and inspire with courage.

As we mark this occasion, remember that CIPM remains your partner on the journey — advocating, empowering and equipping you to thrive as a People Manager of Excellence.
Keep rising, keep leading, keep soaring and keep transforming lives through your work.
Happy Workers’ Day!
With warm regards,
Mallam Ahmed Ladan Gobir, FCIPM, fnli
