NIMN to host AGM, induct 95 associates June 19

The National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN) says its annual general meeting (AGM) will hold from June 19 to June 21 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom.

In a statement on Thursday, the institute said the event, themed ‘Leveraging ESG in driving value across generations’, will focus on responsible innovation and long-term societal impact.

The organisers said the AGM would bring together thought leaders, industry professionals, academia, and marketing practitioners to explore the evolving role of marketing in a purpose-driven world.

The NIMN said the conference will also provide a platform to examine how marketing can support sustainable business practices and deliver value across generations.

“Speaking at a press conference, the institute’s Registrar and Secretary to Council, Ms. Pat Sado, said that the conference will feature keynote speakers, panelists, and valuable networking opportunities, providing attendees with insights and practical strategies for aligning marketing with responsible innovation, digital transformation, and long-term societal impact,” the statement said.

“The AGM will also offer members a chance to review the Institute’s progress and shape its direction. As a professional body regulating the marketing profession in Nigeria, NIMN remains committed to upholding ethical standards, building capacity, and promoting excellence.

“The institute is confident that this year’s event will reinforce these values and position NIMN as a catalyst for transformation in the marketing landscape.”

Jelly Efedi, chairman of the institute’s events and conference committee, said the meeting will allow marketing professionals to connect and learn from one another.

“By attending the AGM, participants can gain valuable insights into the latest trends and developments in the marketing profession, as well as network with key stakeholders,” the chairman was quoted as saying.

He encouraged individuals and organisations to join the NIMN community at the event.

“The AGM will provide a platform for meaningful discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaboration, ultimately contributing to the growth and development of the marketing profession,” Efedi added.

In his remarks, Adewale Adeshina, the NIMN corporate services manager, said the institute will induct 95 associate members and 45 fellows.

On his part, Anthony Agenmonmen, the former national president, said the institute remains committed to developing skills, talent, and capabilities across teams, individuals, and organisations.
