The National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria has inaugurated the investiture committee towards the formal enthronement of Mr. Tony Agenmonmen as the President of the Institute. Tony was elected President in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital at its last annual general meeting that experienced an unprecedented attendance and endorsement of its members.
Holding at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island Lagos on the 17th of February 2017, the high profile event is expected to draw the private and public sector drivers of Nigeria’s economy. Activities include a lecture, special induction, and the conferment of honorary fellowship on people that have supported the growth of the marketing profession.
Shortly after the election of the new president, docile interests, including those of key stakeholders, shot up among old members; academia and marketing organizations whose interest in the Institute had earlier waned.
Professionals carefully selected for the onerous assignment include Tokunbo Modupe, Chairman TPT International as Chairman of the committee, Debo Adebayo as Secretary. Other members of the committee are the Executive Director, Promasidor Nigeria, Kachi Onubogu; NIMN Registrar, Sidney Ogodo; CEO, Neo Media and Marketing- Ehi Braimah; Oracle Experience’s CEO, Felix Eiremiokhae; Senior Marketing Manager, Nigerian Breweries, Sampson Oloche; Publisher, Marketing Edge Magazine, John Ajayi and Yahaya Fufore.

Kufre Ekanem and Marketing Manager, UAC Foods, Joan Ihekwaba, who have shown excellence in practice and trustworthy members of the NIMN over the years.
Tony Agenmonmen takes over the mantle of leadership from Aare Ganiyu Koledoye, popular among marketing professionals as the unification general. A celebrated marketing professional, Tony retired recently as Nigerian Breweries’ Senor Strategy Manager having put in a cumulative 32 years in the service of the brewing giant, holding numerous positions and performing varying duties.
He is a man of excellence and has written a book on the subject of excellence. He started his career with NB in February 1984 as Marketing Assistant, become Brand Manager in 1988 and Senior Brand Manager in 1993.
At his last duty post as Senor Strategy Manager, Tony led his team on strategic projects aimed at realizing new business opportunities for Nigerian Breweries Plc. The key focus area was to explore and provide new insights to the business and broaden perspectives to further drive value-based growth in the increasingly competitive market.
