Dr Lambert Ofoegbu, the president of the Project Management Institute, PMI Nigeria, announced their certification in a statement made available to THE WHISTLER on Wednesday.

Ofoegbu encouraged more organisations and individuals to improve their project management effectiveness to program and portfolio levels by contracting persons with PMI certifications.

“Portfolio Management is the most effective way to implement strategic initiatives, it bridges the gap between strategy and implementation. Portfolio managers align projects, programs and operations with strategic objectives, investing resources in the right work to deliver the expected value. Organizations with mature project portfolio management practices complete 35 percent more of their programs successfully,” he said.
