The Managing Director, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Engr. Omar Suleiman has assured that the Management of the Authority shall partner with the Nigerian Institute of Management for the development and training of the Managerial skills of its personnel.
 To this end, he pledged that the Authority would this year increase its patronage of the executive cadre and other categories of training programmes of the institute for the personnel of the Authority.
Engr. Suleiman was speaking in Lagos on Tuesday (07:02:2012) when he received a delegation of the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM) chartered led by its President and Chairman of Council, Chief (Dr.) Michael Olawale-Cole, who paid him a courtesy call.
According to the Managing Director with the current wave of concessioning of terminal operations in all the nations’ seaports, the Authority now places premium on the training and re-training of its personnel to cope with the challenges of the new dispensation.
While commending the performance of the NIM over the years, the Managing Director pointed out the achievements of the institute in the area of managerial training has made it formidable in the area of manpower development of all sectors of the nation’s economy.
Engr. Suleiman advised the Management of the Institute to expand its curriculum to include training in  corporate governance for personnel in both the public and private sectors of the economy, to enable the citizenry know their responsibilities at the various levels of government.
Earlier, the President and Chairman of council of NIM Chief (Dr.) Michael Olawale-Cole had told the Managing Director that in its 50 years of existence the Institute has remained the single largest multi-disciplinary training and manpower development organisation in the country.  He said that the Institute is a replica of the British Institute of Management (BIM) which at inception was established with the purpose of training and developing high level indigenous managers preparatory to taking over from expatriates’ managers.
 
He however lamented that much has not been achieved in this regard 50 years after the establishment of the Institute, as the management cadre of most multi-national firms and companies in the country are dominated by expatriates.
In order to reverse this trend most urgently, Dr. Cole stated that the NIM has evolved training programmes tailored towards building capacity and achieving attitudinal change as well as character moulding for all categories of managers.
He urged the Nigerian Ports Authority to encourage its managerial cadre to join the institute’s membership to enable them benefit from both local and foreign courses of the institute and concluded by requesting the Management of the Authority to undertake the sponsorship of some of the institutes training programmes as part of its corporate social responsibility. 
Highlight of the visit was the conferment of full membership of the institute on the Managing Director. Dr. Michael Olawale-Cole is the 18th President of the institute.
