The General Manager of Rivers State Newspaper Corporation (RSNC), publishers of The Tide Newspaper, Mr Vincent Ake has promised that the establishment would collaborate with the Chartered Institute of Loan and Risk Management to create the needed awareness for the institute to thrive in the South-South.
Speaking during a courtesy visit by the officials of the institute in his office, yesterday, Ake stated that the only way people could hear and embrace the institute was when the press had created sufficient awareness to spur the people to embrace the activities of the institute.
“I was just thinking that, perhaps, before you did your last programme in Port Harcourt, there was not enough publicity and that was why those who would have been interested and inducted could not participate as they could not get the necessary information.
“I think you have to take advantage of the wider reach of the media to publicise the benefits derived for being a member of the institute. We know that for now, eligibility is free, but from next year, new entrants may have to write an examination,” Ake added.
“For us, our business is to publicise the events that happen in our environment. So, for that purpose, if a programme of such is coming up, we will be at your beck and call.
“Loan involves risk management and there is no way you will take loan and there wouldn’t be risk involved. Also, there is no way as the head of a place that is managing the resources of people and you will not undertake some risks,” he said.
Ake described officials of the institute as men of impeccable character that everyone ought to have confidence in, adding that for them to belong to such an institute shows their reputation and genuineness.
He stressed that Rivers State was the most prominent state in the South-South, adding that The Tide circulates in the region as much as possible, and urged the institute to take advantage of the newspaper’s visibility to advance their cause.
Earlier, Director of Operations, South-South Zone, Dr Barile Korsi stated that the institute was designed primarily to focus on the important issue of risk management, including financial, environmental, cyber, political, among others, adding that risk management was as important as the individual’s success in life.
He noted that due to the over emphasis on loan instead of risk management, officials of the institute were before the National Assembly to change the name of the institute to Chartered Institute of Risk Management because of the challenge the overriding influence of loan has created for its members.
