The Chartered Risk Management Institute of Nigeria (CRMI) has admitted four professionals from the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) into its Board of Fellows.

In a statement, the institute said the professionals have shown expertise, leadership and unwavering commitment to advancing risk management in the country, and were conferred with the Fellow Chartered Risk Manager (FCRM) title.

The newly inducted Fellows are Umaru Ibrahim, former managing director, NDIC; Bello Hassan, current managing director/CEO, NDIC; M. Ibrahim, executive director, Operations, NDIC; and Emily Osuji, executive director, Corporate Services, NDIC.

During the induction, Ezekiel Oseni, president and chairman of the Governing Council of CRMI, commended the recipients for their consistent support of the institute’s mission.

“These four distinguished professionals, along with the NDIC, have been foundational to CRMI’s progress,” Oseni stated, adding that “Their dedication to risk education and best practices has earned NDIC the recognition of being the Best Institution in Capacity Building in Risk Management for several consecutive years.”

Responding, Umaru Ibrahim lauded CRMI’s strides in professionalising risk management across both public and private sectors.

He urged the institute to lend its expertise to national reforms, particularly the ongoing initiative to enhance corporate governance structures within the civil service.
