Federal Government Inaugurates New Governing Council for CIPMN
On February 26, 2025, the Federal Government inaugurated the governing council of the Chartered Institute of Project Managers of Nigeria (CIPMN). This move aims to strengthen the institute’s role in supporting the industrial growth of Nigeria.
Government’s Commitment to Industrial Growth
The event, held in Abuja, was addressed by Senator John Enoh, the Minister of State for Industry, who was represented by Dr. Adedeji Adeshile, his Senior Special Adviser on Policy and Government. During the inauguration, Enoh reaffirmed the government’s commitment to boosting local industries, highlighting a national agenda that prioritizes automobile manufacturing and in-country industrialization.
“I bring good tidings and encouragement to the newly inaugurated Council. This year, we released an agenda to support industrialization, and we look forward to the Council doing more to drive this vision,” Enoh remarked.
CIPMN’s Role in Project Management Regulation
The Registrar of CIPMN, Mr. Henry Mbadiwe, underscored the importance of the institute as the only regulatory body overseeing project management activities across various sectors, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, and business transformation.
“Project management is not limited to construction; it cuts across multiple sectors. CIPMN ensures that all project managers in Nigeria are licensed,” Mbadiwe stated. He also emphasized the institute’s mission to regulate project management across all industries.
Commitment of the New Governing Council
In his response on behalf of the newly inaugurated Council members, the CIPMN President, Emmanuel Afolayan, expressed their commitment to fulfilling the institute’s mandate. “Our mandate is clear, and by the grace of God, we will adhere to it and work towards ensuring a better Nigeria for all its citizens,” Afolayan said.
