The Association of Corporate Communication and Marketing Professionals in Banks (ACAMB) commenced its 30th anniversary celebrations on June 11, 2026, with a tree-planting exercise at Providence Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. The initiative underscores the association's commitment to environmental sustainability while marking three decades of advancing corporate communications and marketing excellence in Nigeria's banking sector.
According to a statement by ACAMB Publicity Secretary Abiodun Coker, the event was well attended. Led by ACAMB President Jide Sipe and CIBN Registrar/CEO Akin Morakinyo, alongside Vice President 1 Chinwe Bode Akinwande, Vice President 2 Morolake Onifade, executive committee members, and heads of marketing and corporate communications from various banks, participants planted trees despite heavy rain, demonstrating their dedication to the milestone celebration.
Representatives from banks across the country planted trees, each named after their respective institutions. Sipe reaffirmed the association's commitment to the banking industry's reputation and growth. 'Thirty years ago, a handful of professionals chose to put the reputation of the banking industry above rivalry. We are standing today on the foundation they laid, and every tree we plant here is a promise to keep building and deepen credibility by proactively addressing issues that improve our collective brand image and customer loyalty,' he said.
Sipe announced a series of activities running through September 2026, including a Golf and Networking Experience on June 27 at Ikoyi Club, Lagos, culminating in a Grand Gala Night on September 30. Morakinyo unveiled the 30th anniversary logo and commended ACAMB for its collaboration with the Institute. 'This anniversary is dedicated to the glory of God and the service of humanity. I charge every member to hold firmly to professionalism and ethics in their duties,' he stated.
