Sep 20, 2026 · 1 min read

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the world’s leading professional body of management accountants, has recognised Nigerian finance professionals for achieving the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA®) designation. The professionals were celebrated at the recent CGMA Convocation Ceremony in Lagos, marking a significant milestone in their professional journeys.

Commenting on the event, Ijeoma Anadozie, Country Director – Nigeria, at The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), said:

“Congratulations to this year's cohort of CGMA professionals on this remarkable achievement. Through their resilience, commitment, and ambition, they have earned a globally recognised designation that reflects the highest standards of professional excellence.

“As Nigeria continues to navigate a dynamic economic environment, the role of skilled finance professionals in helping organisations become future-ready has never been more important. The expertise, strategic insight and professional judgement these newly qualified CGMA professionals have developed will help organisations strengthen performance, build trust and support sustainable economic growth across the country.”

The CGMA Professional Qualification is a globally respected finance qualification designed to equip professionals with the skills to drive strategic decision‑making, support long‑term business performance and create value across organisations. Upon completing the qualification and meeting the required practical experience, students are awarded the CGMA designation, which enhances professional credibility and employability, and supports career progression.

CIMA offers multiple entry points to the CGMA Professional Qualification, enabling individuals to progress based on capability and ambition, not just prior exposure to finance and accounting. School leavers can begin their journey at the Certificate level, while graduates and degree holders may gain direct entry into the professional levels, creating more inclusive and flexible pathways into the profession.
