The Sustainability Professionals Institute of Nigeria has unveiled a Scientific Induction Committee on Thursday in its bid to pave way for professionalism and standardisation in Africa.

This was done during a virtual event on Thursday, themed “Mainstreaming Sustainability in Africa: Professionalism, Standardisation, and Capabilities.”

The event brought together scholars, industry leaders, and sustainability professionals to chart a path for Africa-centric sustainability solutions.

It was moderated by SPIN’s Legal Director, Dr. Mories Atoki and headlined by First Bank of Nigeria PLC.

“Africa must redefine sustainability on its own terms, balancing environmental, social, and economic imperatives unique to our realities,” Atoki said.

The Vice President, SPIN, Ini Abimbola, while administering the SPIN induction oath, charged the newly inducted scientific committee members to advance professionalism, drive standardisation, and strengthen capacity building in sustainability, ultimately shaping the future of sustainability in Africa.

The newly inducted scientific committee comprises seven distinguished scholars and practitioners.

Professor of Accounting and Corporate Governance at Nottingham University Business School, Emmanuel Adegbite,
emphasised the critical role of corporate governance in driving sustainable business practices.
