Afe said: “In line with the mood of the nation, we are looking at the role of ethics and marketing in nation-building. That is our theme for this year. Last year we talked about marketing and tech and that marriage and that union but this year, understanding that we are on the cusp of change and believe in the nation, we want to be able to speak to how marketing as marketing professionals clearly as well as ethics, comes to play in building the nation that we have all dreamed of.
“Our conferences are filled with not just panels and keynote conversations, but also the opportunity for our associates and participants to network, share ideas, and find out more. We have on board academics, we have on board people leading in the marketing space, and we also have people leading when it comes to entertainment and other areas of business endeavor speaking about marketing, ethics, and nation-building.”
speaking on the collaboration with CIM, the President NIMN, Mr. Idorenyen Enang said: “As an institute, the currency of the future seats
in collaborations and strategic partnerships have become a top priority for
us. And to get the best for our members it can only be through a global
affiliation. Late last year, we opened the conversation with the Chartered
Institute of Marketing and we are just about to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that would border around cross-ventilation and cross- pollination. This would enhance collaboration.”
