“At this AGM, we are going to elect new Executive. This administration, led by Chief Emmanuel Ajufo, will be rounding up at this AGM, so another administration will take over. The theme signals a transition year for us. It also serves as guide because we are taking a look at the business outlook so far, how we have fared amidst the weight of various economic pressures as well as new projections to move ahead. The association will also be inducting about 5 new agencies into its fold,” he said.
Onwujiariri revealed that the event promises to attract the crème de la crème in the industry, including distinguished personalities from government and private sectors who will be recognized as special guests of honour at the event.
