The Association of Corporate Communication and Marketing Professionals in Banks (ACAMB) on June 11, 2026, kicked off activities to mark its 30th anniversary celebration with a tree-planting exercise on Providence Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.

According to a statement signed by ACAMB Publicity Secretary, Abiodun Coker, the initiative was part of the association’s efforts aimed at promoting environmental sustainability while commemorating three decades of advancing corporate communications and marketing excellence within Nigeria’s banking industry.

The well attended exercise, led by President of ACAMB, Jide Sipe and the Registrar/Chief Executive Officer of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), Akin Morakinyo, in the company of Vice President 1, Chinwe Bode Akinwande; Vice President 2, Morolake Onifade; executive committee members, both past and present, alongside Group Heads of Marketing and Corporate Communications, and Heads of Departments across banks, waded through the heavy downpour, planting trees in the rain in a display of commitment that set the tone for the milestone celebration.

A tree was planted by representatives of banks in the country and named after each bank.

Sipe, who welcomed members and dignitaries to the exercise, reaffirmed the association’s commitment to the reputation and growth of the banking industry.

“Thirty years ago, a handful of professionals chose to put the reputation of the banking industry above rivalry. We are standing today on the foundation they laid, and every tree we plant here is a promise to keep building and, most importantly, deepen credibility by proactively addressing issues that directly improve our collective brand image and customer loyalty,” he said.

The ACAMB President said that a series of activities would run through September 2026, including a Golf and Networking Experience on June 27, 2026, at Ikoyi Club, Lagos, with the celebration culminating in a Grand Gala Night on September 30, 2026.

However, Morakinyo unveiled the association’s 30th anniversary logo and commended ACAMB for its longstanding collaboration with the Institute.

“This anniversary is dedicated to the glory of God and the service of humanity. I charge every member to hold firmly to professionalism and ethics in the discharge of their duties,” he said.
