The Chartered Institute of Project Managers of Nigeria, CIPMN, has issued a final warning to the Project Management Institute, PMI, and other project management training and consulting organisations, urging them to comply with the institute’s licencing and accreditation requirements or face legal consequences.
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Monday, the Registrar General and Chief Executive Officer of CIPMN, Mr. Henry Ifeanyi Mbadiwe, said no individual or organisation is permitted to operate in the project management space in Nigeria without certification by the institute, as required by law.
Mbadiwe said everyone in Nigeria who has completed the PMI certificate training or a certificate from any other issuing body in Nigeria must be certified by CIPMN in accordance with the law in order to practice as a project manager in the country.
