New CIoD Port Harcourt Chairman Vows to Boost Visibility and Mentor Leaders

Dr. Chamberlain S. Peterside has assumed leadership as the 5th Chairman of the Port Harcourt branch of the Chartered Institute of Directors of Nigeria (CIoD), vowing to enhance the institute's profile and cultivate the next generation of corporate leaders.

“

I am proud to accept this leadership role and the challenges that come with it.

During his investiture ceremony in Port Harcourt, Peterside outlined his vision, encapsulated by the acronym VMM: Visibility, Membership, and Mentorship. He emphasized the goal of increasing the institute's presence in the region, attracting new members, particularly from the senior civil and public service ranks interested in good governance principles.

“

I am committed to promoting the values and principles that the institute holds dear, both in our region and across the country.

A significant objective for Peterside's administration is the development of a state-of-the-art CIoD House in Port Harcourt. This facility is intended to serve as the branch's administrative center and a hub for corporate knowledge, capable of hosting events and providing modern amenities for members and the public.

“

Our focus during my service will be encapsulated by the acronym VMM: Visibility, Membership, and Mentorship.

Adetunji Oyebanji, President/Chairman of the Governing Council of CIoD Nigeria, highlighted the significance of the Port Harcourt branch due to its strategic position in one of Nigeria's key commercial and industrial centers. He expressed confidence that the branch has the potential to advance good governance and expand the institute's reach throughout the South-south region.

“

A state-of-the-art CIoD House in Port Harcourt will not only serve as our administrative hub but also become a repository of corporate knowledge and the focal point for our activities.
