In December 2005 the Institute was waiting for the Jigawa State government to provide a site on which the institute could build a management center. Business leaders ' platform In November 2006 NIM President Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar, after describing how political leaders had stolen $480 billion since 1960, said that all sectors of the economy were suffering from endemic management failure. In December 2007 the new NIM President Sir Peter Edeoghon said he would focus on ways to improve the institute 's performance in regulating the industry and promoting best practices. In November 2008, Edeoghon called on the federal government to increase investment in the non-oil sector. The November 2008 International Management Conference of the NIM wound up with a call for a change in the government 's emphasis to a focus on wealth creation rather than poverty reduction. The two - day conference was held jointly with the Association of Management Organisations in Africa ( AMOA ).
