CIPM tasks new fellows with mentorship, accountability
The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) has tasked its newly inducted fellows with the mentorship of the younger generation on leadership and accountability in line with international best standards.
Mr Olusegun Mojeed, President, CIPM, tasked the inductees on Sunday at the CIPM fellow’s gathering in Lagos.
He said tasking the new fellows was pertinent to ensure that the core values of the institute were entrenched in the younger generation.
According to him, fellows must reproduce themselves by showing the right way to budding and prospective human resources practitioners as the institute guides against unethical practices in personnel management.
He added that the institute launched the ‘Cohortorial Membership Engagement platforms’ for mentoring and reverse mentoring.
These, he explained, were multi-generational platforms for strengthening relationships and learning among the various generations of the institute’s membership.
“Please show the way to young HR practitioners out there by sharing your CIPM experience, encouraging them to get certified through the CIPM and actively participate in our activities.
“We must be deliberate in sharing the knowledge and wealth of experience we have garnered over the years and truly give back that which we have received,” he said.
Mojeed listed some achievements of the institute in recent times to include the project #4000, ‘Day Out with the President’ and ‘CIPM and You’ to further engage its members and deal with membership apathy.
He said the institute kicked off the actualisation of the technology and digital transformation project with the launch of its state-of-the-art website.
“We are thus leveraging technology to take our Institute to the level of best-in-class,” he said.
Mojeed stated that the institute was not relenting in its pursuit of the recognition and accreditation of the CIPM certificate, especially in the public sector.
“We have added a new approach to our engagement with decision-makers in government.
“We got feedback from a couple of states who are prominent members of the National Council on Establishment (NCE).
“We have therefore started a micro model of engagement to achieve the macro-objective,” he said.
An inductee, Mr Habila Amos, Director, Administration & Human Resource, National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), stated that his organisation would be further enriched with positive changes following his attainment of the highest level of human resource management.
“It is expected of me to bring in innovation and other levels of changes into my organisation in the human resource professional.
“HR practice must be done in the most ethical manner, thus, the onus rest on us to preserve it for the coming generations.
“We have been charged, and I believe we shall not fail the institute nor Nigeria, as you know, to whom much is given, more are expected,” he said.

President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday arrived in Katsina to receive the remains of the former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away in London on Sunday at the age of 82.
Just hours before the burial of former President Muhammadu Buhari, heartfelt tributes have continued to pour in from beneficiaries of his many charitable deeds, with many describing him as a man who never turned his back on the needy.
Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday, Aminu Daura, a respected community elder, recalled how Buhari consistently provided foodstuffs during Ramadan for families, friends, widows, and orphans in his hometown.
“He never made noise about it, but many homes had food on their tables during fasting period because of him,” Daura said.
Abdullahi Sani, a physically-challenged man who received a tricycle from the Buhari Foundation in 2021, was overcome with emotion while speaking to NAN.
“I can move around and feed my family today because of Baba Buhari. I pray to Allah to reward him for giving hope to people like me,” he said, in tears.
Hajiya Fatima Yahaya, another resident, remembered Buhari’s acts of kindness during festive seasons.
“Even after he left office, his aides ensured that the usual support still reached us every year. He always remember his people,” she said, referring to his distribution of Sallah rams and food items to indigent families during Eid celebrations.
Other residents of Daura also shared memories of how the late former president quietly paid school fees and medical bills for struggling families, actions rarely publicized.
“Some of us benefited from his silent interventions. He was a true father and a great figure in the society,” said Ali Saidu.
On Monday night, Imams across various mosques in Daura held special Qur’anic recitations, praying for the forgiveness of Buhari’s sins and his eternal peace.
The Chief Imam of Daura Central Mosque, Sheikh Musa Kofar Barau, described Buhari as a humble leader whose legacy of service and compassion would remain alive in the hearts of the people.
Buhari is scheduled to be buried later on Tuesday in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, in line with Islamic rites. The community is bracing to welcome thousands of mourners from across Nigeria and beyond.
His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco has extended heartfelt condolences to President Bola Tinubu, the family of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, and the entire Nigerian people following Buhari’s death.
In a message of sympathy, the Moroccan monarch described the passing of the former Nigerian leader as a “sad occurrence,” expressing deep sorrow over the loss.
King Mohammed VI hailed Buhari as “an illustrious leader who worked untiringly to serve his country’s best interests and lead his people toward further progress and prosperity.”
He added: “Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the bereaved. I share your grief and want you to know how much I appreciated the working sessions I had with the deceased.”
Reflecting on their bilateral engagements, the king noted that his collaboration with Buhari led to the launch of promising development projects, “ushering a new era grounded in friendship and close cooperation between our two sister nations.”
