We are ready to contribute our own quota to the Nigeria’s economy — NIMN

Tony Agenmommen, NIMN President

The National Institute Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN) has expressed its readiness to contribute its own quota to the growth of the nation’s economy by partnering with the federal government towards achieving its set goals for the country.

President and Council Chairman of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria, Tony Agenmonmen stated this, recently, in his address at the Annual General meeting of the institute held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital.

Agenmonmen said the Nigerian environment had been challenging for members of NIMN, where many members struggled to pay their subscriptions, the return of President Buhari might be the needed elixir for the economy to make a rebound.

He expressed the determination of the institute to take advantage of all opportunities, available from government policies, to give marleting practice a pride of place in the country.

On the progress made by the NIMN in the last one year, the President, Agenmonmen said the Council under him was able to, “engage and interact with government at various occasions and at all levels which is a strategy to raise the profile of the institute which is no officially a member of the President’s Quarterly Business Forum.

“Our inherited debt profile remains high. We have made concerted efforts to drive it down gradually. However, our strategy remains to rebuild the institute to be strong enough to be able to pay these unfortunate debts. We therefore appeal you our creditors, including some retired employees and corporate organizations to bear with us as we work hard on the balancing act of keeping the institute strong and drawing down the debts.

“We have developed a completely new database management system that is very robust enough for our needs. The issue of enrolement of our certificates in the Civil Service scheme has continued to be in focus and occupy our attention.

Members of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria agreed based on the motion moved, to change the Auditors at the end of the year.
