The National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN), Nigeria’s apex regulatory body for the marketing profession, is set to host its 15th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Ceedapeg Hotels, Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
The meeting will commence at 10:00 a.m. and is expected to attract leading marketing professionals, corporate leaders, and key stakeholders from across the country.
The AGM represents a pivotal moment for the Institute, as it reviews its activities and strategic direction for the year under review, January 1 to December 31, 2024 and sets the tone for future engagements aimed at strengthening the practice and relevance of marketing in Nigeria’s socio-economic development.
Among the core activities scheduled for the gathering are the presentation of the President’s Statement and Council Report, a comprehensive review of the Institute’s audited financial accounts, and the formal announcement of the newly elected President, whose selection will be determined through a fully digital, nationwide electronic voting process. This marks a continuation of NIMN’s commitment to transparency, innovation, and democratic leadership.
This year’s AGM is especially significant, as it coincides with the Institute’s ongoing drive to reposition marketing as a central pillar in nation-building. Through strategic advocacy, policy engagement, and continuous professional development, NIMN is leading the charge to ensure that marketing professionals in Nigeria are equipped not only with technical skills but with the leadership capacity to influence economic growth, brand credibility, and institutional trust.
Speaking on the significance of the AGM, Ms. Patience Sado, MNIMN, Registrar and Secretary to Council, emphasized the importance of the gathering as both a constitutional requirement and a forum for critical reflection. “This year’s meeting is not just about presenting reports; it is about reaffirming our collective vision for the future of marketing in Nigeria and inspiring the next generation of marketing leaders to rise to the occasion.”
In addition to reviewing operational performance and stakeholder engagements, the AGM will serve as a platform to recognize key contributors to the growth of the Institute and to outline new programs and reforms aimed at improving member value, strengthening institutional governance, and deepening the impact of marketing across sectors.
NIMN, chartered by Act No. 25 of 2003, continues to play an indispensable role in standardizing and promoting ethical marketing practices across Nigeria. The Institute remains a beacon of professionalism, innovation, and service, qualities that will no doubt be reinforced at the 15th AGM.
