He noted that the revised curriculum, which  reflects the changing landscape of the marketing industry,  is to ensure members are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their respective fields.

 

 

The NIMN boss also stated that one of the Council’s areas of focus is to embark on aggressive membership growth, by focusing on three solid tiers: Corporate, Individuals and Institutions.

As a matter of fact, we will operate an inclusive strategy that allows us focus on cross sectoral alliances with passion and interest clusters that serve the marketing discipline,” he stated.
