CIPM reiterates commitment to promoting continuous learning, with new App

…as FG, labour pledge support at institute’s 57th Conference

The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) has demonstrated its commitment to promoting continuous learning as it announced the launch of its new CIPM Mobile App.

Unveiling the app at the institute’s 57th International Conference and Exhibition, in Abuja, held between Tuesday and Thursday, this week, in Abuja, the institute’s President and Chairman of Council, Mallam Ahmed Gobir, explained that the new mobile platform was also designed to enhance members’ access to professional resources, and streamline conference engagement.

He described the CIPM Mobile App as symbolising the institute’s  drive at blending tradition with technology in its mission to build a world-class HR profession.

The CIPM boss also stressed the significance of the conference, especially its theme: “Reimagining The New World of Work”, which, he noted, emphasised the need for HR practitioners to embrace technology to enable them remain relevant in the workplace.

He described the conference as more than a gathering, but a movement, designed  to shape the mindset, skills, and culture of the Nigerian workforce for the new realities of work.

“The future will not reward the strongest or the smartest, but those brave enough to stay human in a digital world.” Mallam Gobir declared.

Mallam Gobir, therefore, reaffirmed the institute’s commitment to equipping professionals with the skills and values needed to navigate technological disruptions, while keeping workplaces humane and inclusive.

“We are at an inflection point. The choices we make as leaders and professionals today will determine whether Nigeria becomes a net exporter of talent and innovation, or a nation that struggles to keep up with the pace of change. CIPM is determined to ensure it is the former,” he assured.

While declaring the conference open,  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assured the institute of government’s support in its efforts at  advancing the nation’s human capital agenda, and playing a pivotal role in developing the competencies needed for national productivity.

The president, who was represented by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, described the Institute as a key partner in the nation’s journey towards building a future-ready workforce.

President Tinubu commended the institute for coming up with a   conference’s theme that aligned  with the federal government’s commitment to harnessing the nation’s demographic advantage through digital transformation and large-scale talent development.

He also  lauded   the institute for sustaining its leadership in people- management, and  convening the country’s foremost experts to deliberate on the theme.

In a goodwill message, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, assured that the  Ministry would continue to support the institute in its efforts at promoting excellence in human resource management,  while urging HR professionals to leverage insights from the conference to develop the nation’s workforce and drive sustainable national growth.
