The Chartered Institute of Project Managers of Nigeria, CIPMN, will commence full enforcement of its law of clamping down unlicensed project managers overseeing projects in Nigeria in the first quarter of 2025.
The Registrar, CIPMN, Henry Mbadiwe made this known at a news conference in Abuja.
He said the institute established to ensure proper coordination and management will no longer tolerate unlicensed project managers overseeing projects in Nigeria.
While warning unlicensed practitioners to desist from such act or face the full wrath of the law, the CIPMN Registrar said one of the challenges the country is facing is not the absence of laws, but total disregard for the laws by practitioners.
He also said the cost of abandoned projects in Nigeria now stand at over N17 trillion naira which is not good for the economy.
Commending President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Doris Uzoka-Anite, for their unflinching support to the Institute in the discharge of its mandate, the CIPMN boss however, called on Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to impress on its contractors, project managers and consultants to to obey the law of the land.
