CIPM inducts 1,261, to delist non-financial members

The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) has inducted 1,261 Human Resource professionals. The newly inducted members include 34 executive-route Full Members, 474 Practitioner’s Route Associates, and 753 Associate members from the examination route. Speaking at the 68th induction ceremony, the President and Chairman of the Governing Council, Mallam Ahmed Ladan Gobir charged them to uphold CIPM’s professional standards. He reminded practitioners that only CIPM-certified professionals are permitted by law to practice HR in Nigeria, cautioning that individuals who operate without certification remain in breach of existing regulations. He announced that the Institute will begin delisting non-financial members from Wednesday, 31st December, 2025, encouraging all affected members to regularise their status by renewing their annual dues.

Gobir emphasised the theme of the ceremony, “Beyond Engagement to Fulfillment: Building a Culture that Nurtures Belonging and Purpose at Work”, noting that modern organisations require more than traditional engagement strategies.

He urged the new inductees to become active chapter members and to invest continuously in professional development through CIPM platforms such as the HR Leadership Academy, the CIPM and You Webinar Series, the International Conference and Exhibition, and other learning avenues.

The President also advised the inductees to identify mentors whose values and professional journeys they admire, saying that such remains crucial for shaping successful HR careers.

The guest lecture, delivered by Kayode Abe, Chief Consultant at Kingspride Consult Limited, examined the gap between employee engagement and employee fulfillment.

Abe described engagement as a positive attitude toward work and organisational values, while fulfillment is a deeper alignment between work and personal motivations that produces meaning and purpose.

He highlighted that an employee may be engaged without being fulfilled; however, a fulfilled employee is almost always highly engaged.
