The Chartered Institute of Project Managers of Nigeria, CIPMN, has reaffirmed its determination to commence strict enforcement of its licensing law, warning that individuals and organizations practicing project management without CIPMN authorization face prosecution and possible two-year jail terms as stipulated by law.
Registrar-General of CIPMN, Mr. Henry Mbadiwe, stated this during a press briefing on Thursday in Abuja to mark the 2025 International Project Management Day, with the theme, “The Power of Thrill: Project Leadership and Agile,”
Mbadiwe emphasized that the CIPMN Act No. 3 of 2018 empowers the Institute to regulate, certify, and monitor all project management practices across Nigeria, similar to how the Medical and Dental Council licenses doctors.
