A LEGACY OF CONNECTIONS

Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much. – Helen Keller

The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria, Ogun State Branch, has been at the forefront of professional growth and expansion. Since March 2023, under the visionary leadership of our Chairman, Sean Olabode Badiru, MCIPM, we have taken bold steps to strengthen our network, deepen our influence, and ensure that no HR professional or business leader in Ogun State is left behind.

Over 300 professionals have recently seized the opportunity to become members. They recognized that being part of CIPM is no longer an option—it is a necessity. These new members span industries and sectors, bringing fresh energy, diverse expertise, and innovative ideas into our growing community.

The question is—where do you stand? Are you connected to this thriving community of HR professionals, or are you navigating your career solo?

Beyond membership growth, we have strategically expanded our reach to ensure that no aspiring professional is left behind. Our engagements with students and young professionals at institutions such as Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Lagos State University, the Federal University of Technology Akure, and Olabisi Onabanjo University have provided a clear path for future HR leaders to step into a world of endless opportunities. Even at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Ogun State, we have introduced young graduates to the professional advantage that CIPM offers.

And it’s not just students. Our reach extends to government institutions. Through our strategic engagements, Honourable Members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly have indicated interest in joining the Institute, further cementing the importance of professional HR expertise in governance and policymaking.

One of the most significant milestones in our journey has been our partnership with Lagos State University. Through focused engagements championed by our Chairman, Sean Olabode Badiru, MCIPM, we facilitated the induction of LASU’s top leadership—including the Vice Chancellor, Deputy Vice Chancellors, and other key institutional heads—into the institute. This was not just a ceremony; it was a statement. It showed that HR excellence is not just for practitioners but for every leader who values structure, talent management, and organizational success.

As part of our drive to ensure that the next generation is not left behind, we established an HR Club at FUTA during a career fair organized in collaboration with RCCG National Young Adults and Youth Affairs. This club is not just another student group—it is a launchpad for future HR professionals, giving them access to mentorship, industry insights, and real-world experiences that will set them apart in the workforce.

All these efforts have been spearheaded with a clear vision—to make CIPM the center of professional growth, engagement, and opportunity. Those who have joined us are already reaping the benefits. Those who are still undecided must ask themselves: How long will I remain outside a network that is shaping the future of HR in Nigeria?

CIPM is more than an institute—it is a family, a network, and a gateway to professional excellence. Join us today and be part of something bigger.

The movement is growing. The opportunities are expanding. Don’t be left out.

CIPM Ogun State Branch Secures 2-Hectare Land Approval

In a groundbreaking move poised to redefine the landscape of human resource management in Ogun State, the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria, Ogun State Branch, has secured a two-hectare allocation for a state-of-the-art multifunctional secretariat. This landmark achievement marks a major step forward in the Institute’s mission to foster institutional growth, operational excellence, and professional development.

The breakthrough came on October 8, 2024, when the Ogun State Government issued a provisional letter of allocation, granting a sprawling 20,069.907 square meter space for this visionary project. The acquisition marks a pivotal moment in expanding the Institute’s influence and capacity across the state, with a focus on future-proofing HR operations in the region.

This milestone goes beyond territorial expansion—it is a strategic investment in the future of HR leadership and practice. The planned secretariat will become a vibrant hub for innovation, professional training, and cross-sector collaboration. It will serve as a central meeting point for CIPM members, HR professionals, and stakeholders, fostering transformative initiatives that will reshape both public and private sector operations in Ogun State and beyond.

“This secretariat will be a beacon of excellence for HR professionals, offering a dedicated space for growth, collaboration, and the advancement of our profession in Nigeria,” said Sean Olabode Badiru, Chairman of the CIPM Ogun State Branch.

The success of this acquisition reflects the relentless dedication of the national and state leadership of CIPM. While Mallam Ahmed Ladan Gobir, FCIPM, President of the Institute, has played a pivotal role by committing resources to ensure that the required payment for this project is fully covered, the contribution of other national leaders has been equally instrumental.

Special acknowledgment goes to Mrs. Chidinma Obiejesi, FCIPM, Vice President of the Institute, whose encouragement was the catalyst for applying to the Ogun State Government for the land allocation. Her vision and guidance helped shape this significant achievement from the very beginning.

Also instrumental to this success is the Registrar of the Institute, Ms. Oluwatoyin Naiwo, FCIPM. She used her esteemed office to follow up diligently with key government officials in the state, facilitating negotiations and ensuring the allocation process moved forward smoothly. Together, the President, Vice President, and Registrar also visited the Ogun State Head of Service to advocate for the Institute’s interests.

This achievement was made possible through the unwavering support of key Ogun State government officials:

1. Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, Head of Service of Ogun State, played a critical role by ensuring the final approval and issuance of the allocation letter. His timely intervention was essential to securing this milestone.

2. Mr. Kolawole Peter Fagbohun, Immediate Past Head of Service, initiated the allocation process and used his office to facilitate the necessary approvals and documentation, laying the foundation for this landmark achievement.

3. Mr. Jola Oyeneye, mni, MCIPM, Permanent Secretary, Bureau of Public Service Reforms, championed the Institute’s interests by leveraging his influence to ensure a smooth and efficient negotiation process.

The internal leadership of the CIPM Ogun State Branch also played a crucial role in realizing this vision. Special recognition goes to Mrs. Oladunni Adetona, ACIPM, Vice Chairman of the branch and Director of Administration and Supply in the Ogun State Civil Service. Her relentless follow-up and deep involvement were instrumental in ensuring the seamless processing of the land allocation.

“Our collaborative spirit is the backbone of this achievement,” noted Badiru. “This land is not just an asset; it represents opportunity, growth, and the limitless potential of HR professionals in Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole.”

As CIPM advances this monumental project, the focus remains on laying a foundation for innovation, growth, and excellence. The secretariat is expected to amplify the Institute’s influence, drive business transformation, and support socio-economic development in Ogun State.
