The African Human Resource Confederation (AHRC), the pan-African body for HR has elected the President of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), Olusegun Mojeed

, as its Vice President.

The election took place at the confederation’s executive board meeting, held recently. A statement by the Registrar/Chief Executive of the institute, Oluwatoyin Naiwo, explained that Mojeed’s election as VP was an acceleration of CIPM’s journey to global relevance.

The statement said, Mojeed, who was previously the Secretary-General of the AHRC but by his election as the Vice President, he is saddled with additional responsibilities that would include sitting on and actively participating in the executive board of the World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA), which is the global network of professionals in people management.

According to her, having this significant representation at the African level is an opportunity to lead the African HR community through the board of the AHRC and also a huge boost to the CIPM’s bid to host the World HR Congress in 2026.

Mojeed is an alumnus of the prestigious Yale School of Management and the University of Lagos, a fellow of the National Institute for Labour Studies, and the Executive Consultant and Global Head of Practice at Bezaleel Consulting Group.

His expertise span strategy development and execution; change management; leadership; extra-legendary customer service; talent management; strategic HR management; entrepreneurship and life after work, among others.

He is an author and a Centre for management development certified trainer/consultant.

In the same vein, the Head of Communication, Advocacy and Stakeholder Relations of the CIPM, Funmi Onasanya, was co-opted as a member of the executive board of AHRC to strengthen the institute’s service delivery at the AHRC level.
