CIAMC members in Tamale
The Chartered Institute of Administrators and Management Consultants (CIAMC), has organised the Seventh Administrative Professionals Conference at the Tamale Campus of the University for Development Studies (UDS), with an urgent call on administrators across Ghana to embrace adaptability, innovation, and continuous learning.
The one-day conference was held under the theme, “The Power of Adaptability: Thriving in a Dynamic Administrative Landscape.”
Chairing the event on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor of UDS, Professor Mohammed Muniru Iddrisu, Principal of the Nyankpala Campus, underscored the centrality of administrators in the success of any organisation.
“Administrators are the glue that holds institutions together. Without their competence and diligence, no organisation can truly function effectively or realise its goals,” he said.
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of CIAMC, Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI, in his welcome address, chronicled the achievements of the institute over the years.
He noted the growth in membership, professional certification programmes, and strategic collaborations with academic and public institutions.
“This conference is part of our effort to decentralise professional development and take it to all corners of the country. I salute the Tamale Branch led by Mr. Bernard Alando for their exceptional work in hosting this conference,” he noted.
Delivering a solidarity message on behalf of other professional bodies in Ghana, Madam Grace Kaye congratulated CIAMC for its commitment to maintaining high professional standards.
“The Institute continues to set the pace in professionalism, and we are proud of your contributions to administrative excellence in Ghana,” she said.
Speaking on behalf of the Northern Regional Minister, the Chief Executive of the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly, Abu Takoro, expressed his delight over the choice of Tamale as host city.
“We welcome this prestigious gathering to our city. Beyond the conference, I encourage all participants to take time to experience our rich culture, food, and hospitality,” he urged.
Vice Chair of the CIAMC Board of Trustees, Prof. Margaret Ivy Gyan, placed the conference in context, saying, “This platform is not just for learning but for real transformation. The theme reflects the times we live in, times that require flexibility, innovation, and strategic thinking.”
Dr. Martin Thompson Ntem of the University of Media, Arts, and Communication presented on “Developing Office Systems, Processes, and Procedures.”
He emphasised the need for efficiency in documentation and internal processes.
“Clear systems reduce chaos and improve productivity,” he stated.
