Managers Society of Nigeria (RIMSON) has called on government at all levels to embrace risk-based management of critical national infrastructure to achieve national development.
RIMSON noted that a risk appraisal of a wide range of our national challenges has shown that our governance processes will guarantee greater results if proper risk management procedures are enthroned.
Raymond Akalonu, president/ chairman of the Governing Board of RIMSON made the call during the 2019 National Conference of the Society held in Lagos with the theme: “Emerging Risks: Rising to the Challenge”.
He said that this theme underscores the society’ s worries as a body concerning the vulnerability of her national space for emerging risks.
Akalonu stated further that the Annual Conference has remained critical to propagation of risk management education, centering on the promotion of risk management awareness and culture across all spheres of our national life.
