  "account": "Dr Dakuku Peterside, former Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), emphasized during the Nigerian Institute of Management's 65th Annual Conference that revenue collection alone does not represent the scope of management in Nigeria. He urged the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM) to take an advocacy stance to optimize Nigeria's resources and elevate its standing in Africa. According to Peterside, NIMASA should collaborate with NRS to leverage its resource capabilities and management expertise to elevate the nation's maritime sector, which could contribute to attaining a GDP target of $1 trillion for Nigeria. Comparing Nigeria's current GDP per capita ($1,200) to Botswana's ($33,000), he suggested that NIM should advocate for enhanced managerial capacities in all agencies and ministries, focusing on integrity, transparency, accountability, equity, fairness, efficiency, and effectiveness. Early NIM members are present across professions in Nigeria, and its influence is visible in various organizations. As the foremost and largest multidisciplinary management institute in Africa, NIM should lead the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly and ethically in Nigeria to minimize corruption and fiscal leakages. To achieve this, managers should pilot AI projects within a strong policy and legal framework, with citizens engaged through mobile and social platforms for transparency, accountability, cost reduction, and efficient service delivery.",
