In his new capacity as president, Mande is tasked with steering the organisation’s vision, fostering research initiatives, enhancing educational programs, and promoting best practices in management and leadership.
Prof. Justine Gabriel, the academy’s publicity secretary, remarked in an official statement, “Prof. Mande’s election reflects his profound knowledge and unwavering commitment to the management profession.
“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to him and eagerly anticipate collaborating to elevate management scholarship and research throughout Nigeria.”
