But over the years, following peaceful overtures by Koledoye, who was President of one of the factions, the body has been united and the bond between members have been strenghtened. Also, normanl activities have since resumed in the body’s academic arm, which is the premier certifcation body for professional marketers in Nigeria.

Forms for members who are intereted in contesting for elective posts into the NIMN executive council are already out as announced by the Institute’s electoral body. The election will hold on November18 , the final day of the AGM.
