Chartered Risk Management Institute of Nigeria
What we do

Six activities. One mandate.

CRMI's mandate — promoting and protecting the standard of risk management practice in Nigeria — expresses itself through six core activities. Each is a deliverable the Institute owes to the profession.

Operational mandate

Activities that anchor the profession.

Each activity is owned by a standing committee and delivered by the secretariat — together they make the chartered designation what it is.

Membership lifecycle

Admit, classify, and discipline members across the four tiers. Maintain a public, verifiable register and an active annual-dues programme.
