ICBC Nigeria charges members with professionalism 

The Institute of Certified Business Consultants (ICBC) Nigeria has charged its newly inducted members with professionalism and high ethical standards.
ICBC President and country representative, Emmanuel Ayele, gave the charge during the institute’s induction ceremony, where about 91 new members were inducted into the ranks of fellow, student, graduate, associate, corporate, and full-time members.

Speaking further, Ayele asserted that the new members of ICBC have been chosen because they have demonstrated excellence, leadership, and a spirit of innovation. He encouraged them to be bold and courageous and to never stop striving for excellence.
   
In his lecture with the theme, ‘Leveraging practical insight: How business consultants shape legacy, reputation and brand recognition’, the Director, of Entrepreneurship and Skills Development Centre (ESDC), University of Lagos (UNILAG), Prof. Sunday Adebisi said every member of the institute was to look after each entity as a consultant.  He said this could be banking, insurance, manufacturing or other sectors to nurture and survey them to remain in line with what the practice entails.
 
To achieve this purpose, he urged the new members to stay curious, attend conferences, seminars, and workshops, and pursue relevant certifications and credentials to become professionals in the field.
 
The ICBC registrar, Abiodun Obanla challenged the new members to build businesses that would last.
 
“We want to raise consultants that will stand the test of time, build businesses that will thrive and be eye-opening. So they need to know bits and pieces of every aspect of business for them to be great,” she said.
