A Human Resource Management expert, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, has stressed the need for integrity, commitment and dedication in the course of professional practice.
Alhaji Abdullahi stated this while responding to his investiture as Life Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) at a ceremony in Lagos on Saturday April 26, 2025.
He said these three qualities, if well maintained, are veritable virtues for personal, organizational and professional achievements; adding that his 35 years of membership with 17 years as a Fellow of the Institute, had equipped him to serve both the body and humanity to the best of his ability.
Earlier in his speech, President of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), Alhaji Ahmed Ladan Gobir, described the five honourees, who were conferred with the title of Life Member, as leading members of the Institute “who have contributed immensely to the growth and the development of the CIPM which is the only recognised Regulatory and Professional Body for human resource management practice in Nigeria.”
He said the awardees merited the honours conferred on them because they have made great and positive impact in the Institute for nearly 4 decades.
CIPM President Gobir, who is also Chairman of the Governing Council of the Institute, said “for long, the Institute would continue to remember the great contributions of the honourees to the body”.
He urged them to ensure that they encourage some of their offsprings to embrace human resource practice as a profession as human capital development is vital to the survival of any Society.
Others, who were conferred with Life Membership title of the Institute in addition to Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, were Mr. Oritsenenye Enemigin Ochuko, Mr. Femi Pius Mokikan, Mrs Francisca Akogun and Mr. Olatunji Oyedokun.
The ceremony, which was part of the Institute’s Annual Fellow’s Gathering, also featured the introduction of Fellows of CIPM who were inducted at an event held in the International Conference Centre, Abuja, last year.
Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) is now 57 years old having been established in 1968.
