The Association of Corporate Affairs Managers of Banks (ACAMB) has elected Babajide Sipe as its new president, following the conclusion of its annual general meeting.
Sipe emerged alongside other newly elected members of the association’s executive council, marking the beginning of a new leadership cycle for the body that represents corporate communications professionals within Nigeria’s banking sector.
In his acceptance remarks, Sipe said the new leadership would prioritise professionalism, collaboration, and stronger engagement within the financial services industry.
“This is a responsibility that comes with the need to deepen trust, promote ethical communication practices, and strengthen the voice of corporate affairs professionals in banking,” he said.
ACAMB said the newly constituted executive council reflects a blend of experience across Nigeria’s banking industry and is expected to advance the association’s objectives, including capacity development, industry advocacy, and peer learning.
According to the association, the election process followed the completion of the tenure of the outgoing leadership, with members endorsing the new team to steer ACAMB through emerging challenges in corporate communication, reputation management, and stakeholder engagement.
Sipe noted that the evolving nature of banking, driven by technology, regulation, and public scrutiny, demands a more strategic role for corporate affairs managers.
“As the financial services landscape continues to evolve, corporate communications must adapt, not just to manage reputation, but to contribute meaningfully to institutional resilience and public confidence,” he said.
The association added that the new executive council would work closely with regulators, media organisations, and other stakeholders to promote responsible communication practices within the banking sector.
ACAMB is a professional body made up of corporate affairs and communications executives from commercial, merchant, and development banks operating in Nigeria. The association plays a key role in promoting best practices in financial communication and strengthening engagement between banks and the public.
