In a statement, Publisher and Chief Executive Officer, Marketing Edge, Mr. John Ajayi described said it was unfortunate that what was introduced as a commendable initiative to recognise outstanding digital marketing and marketing professionals for their hard work can be turned into harassments and unreasoned intimidation.
He alleged that NIMN was targeting established figures who have demonstrated exceptional resilience, dedication, and innovation in their respective fields.
“Instead of celebrating the achievements of these young star professionals, they are being made to face unjustifiable harassment and embarrassment at the hand of the institute.”
