Chief of defence staff Gen. Christopher Musa has bagged the status of fellowship of the Nigerian Institute of Management Chartered (NIM).
Musa and 149 other Nigerians were decorated at the NIM 2024 awards, fellows and spouses day luncheon on Thursday in Lagos.
President of NIM Christiana Atako said the fellowship upgrade was not an end in itself but rather a call to higher responsibility and service to the institute, the management profession and the nation.
She charged the recipients to devote more of their time, talent, treasure and thinking to the service of the institute, the profession and the nation by availing their competencies and specialisations when the need arises.
“I congratulate the institute’s elder statesmen and women who are receiving life membership award at this event for keeping faith with the institute over the years.
“In the same breath, I pay special tribute to other individuals and corporate members as well as non-members that will also be receiving various for excelling in their different areas of calling and business,” she said.
In his remarks, Musa noted that the security of the nation was a collective responsibility and urged Nigerians to support the military in its duty of securing the nation.
He lauded the NIM for recognising and rewarding deserving members with the prestigious fellowship award.
He noted that the institute had been successful in championing management expertise and direction to the nation since its inception 63 years ago.
