The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) has reaffirmed its commitment to transforming human resource governance standards.
The announcement was a key outcome of the institute’s 55th annual general meeting, a milestone event that also saw a historic change of guard in leadership.
A statement by CIPM said with no fewer than 1,000 members participating in the election and an additional 1,000 members engaging in the virtual AGM, this year’s event was a testament to the institute’s growing influence and commitment to democratic processes.
It noted that CIPM, empowered by legislation (Act of Parliament CAP 115 LFN 2004), continued to uphold its mandate as Nigeria’s apex regulatory HR body, setting standards for HR professionals and practitioners and enabling effective people management and organisational development.
The AGM witnessed the appointment of Mr. Ahmed Gobir as the new president and chairman of the governing council.
It noted that Gobir’s inauguration signals a new era of inclusivity and diversity in CIPM’s leadership.
During the ceremony, the outgoing president, Mr. Olusegun Mojeed, took the opportunity to reflect on his tenure, highlighting significant achievements of his administration.
According to the institute, Mojeed’s leadership saw a substantial increase in CIPM’s revenue and propelled the institute onto the global stage.
In his inaugural address, Gobir thanked the members and unveiled his strategic agenda, encapsulated by the acronym SOAR.
Gobir outlined his strategic priorities, which include enhancing the membership experience through tailored value propositions, harnessing automation to streamline operations.
“As the institute embarks on this new chapter under President Ahmed Ladan Gobir’s leadership, it remains dedicated to advancing the HR profession and driving positive change in Nigeria and beyond,” the institute claimed.
