The Ogun State chairman of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria, CIPM Nigeria, Engr. Sean Olabode Badiru yesterday launched the Remo & Ijebu Chapter of the institute in Sagamu, with Prince Adebayo Akinde emerging as the Chairman of the chapter.
The CIPM is the professional body for Human Resources Management in Nigeria with branches in almost all the States in Nigeria, United Kingdom and Canada .
Prince Akinde is the Human Resources Manager of Everest Metal Nigeria Ltd who holds leadership positions in other organizations and associations where he manages human resources.
Engr. Badiru, while inaugurating the chapter, noted that the pioneering EXCO members would be initiated in January and inducted in six months, after they have proven their capabilities.

He explained that the jurisdiction of the Remo & Ijebu chapter begins with organisations/ companies located immediately after the Redemption City of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, along the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way.
And those in the Odogunyan/ Ogijo axis of the boundary of Sagamu Local Government with Ikorodu and Obafemi- Owode LGA down to those from Waterman College in Abeokuta-Sagamu High Way down to entire 9 Local Government Areas that constitute Remo and Ijebu Divisions of Ogun State.
According to Engr. Badiru, the Chapter is being inaugurated to enable all managers of human resources in all those companies and institutions to have a platform where they can meet and interacts; both for those who are already members of the CIPM and those intending to join.
"...They will have the opportunity to meet and associate under the umbrella of CIPM. The need for association, to learn from themselves, to grow and develop together. To leverage the strength that's in togetherness."
He pointed out that having the chapter located in Sagamu is a big advantage for the Remo and Ijebu people because a lot of big companies are located in Sagamu as the Gateway Town in the Gateway State.
He said: "You know companies like: Emzor, Nestle, Holland, Bigi, Rite Fruits, Coleman's Wire & Cables, e.t.c. are located in Sagamu here. And those who attended this inauguration, you know, are matured people, both in terms of age, education and what have you?".
"You can see that those who couldn't even come because of the exigencies of their work, even joined the inauguration ceremony online. That should tell you the level of their commitment and eagerness to come together," he added.
He advised the EXCO and general members to allow love to reign among them. He urged them to jettison favouritism, backbiting and all those things that could cause division among them.
Speaking on how the formation of Remo & Ijebu Chapter started, Prince Akinde told Successful People Magazine that it has been a long time dream which he kept alive until it came into reality this Wednesday.
He disclosed that he started by first getting himself inducted as a professional member into the CIPM Nigeria. He thereafter began to network to know who's who in the various organizations that fell into the categories of human resources management around.
This, he said, preceded the mobilisation of members in those various organizations over a year now, until they were able to start the process that got the attention and the support of the State and National Executive Council of the CIPM Nigeria.

He advised members and the potential ones to be ready to learn and keep learning in this ever changing world. He made it clear that CIPM Nigeria would continue to provide opportunities for them to learn and develop themselves for more capacity building.
Those brought into the leadership team of the newly formed Remo & Ijebu Chapter of the CIPM are: Mrs Gbemisola Alakija (Vice Chairman), Mrs Funmi Sowoluwe (General Secretary), Mrs Adeola Ayeni (Treasurer) Mr Adeyemi Dasouza (PRO), Mr. Tunde Badejo (Assistant Secretary) Mrs. Bukonla Aguda.
