The Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM) through the NIM Act set out to regulate and control
the practice of Management in Nigeria with a view of complementing in the building of requisite
human resources towards nation’s development. The Council and Members in General Meeting
constitute the two organs through which the objectives of the Institute are realized. The organs are
expected to co-exist in a manner that guarantees active participation of professional managers in
General Meeting in the running of the Institute. The paper considers whether the total members
attending the Annual General Meeting and the fact of meeting once in a year gives the organ
effective platform to review all year round possible power abuse of the Council. The Council has
the discretion to withdraw an approval given in respect of a course, qualification or institution

such that may be exercised judiciously in view of the requirement of the law for in - house

approaches and the question determined here is, if human resources and management practice can
be promoted without affording erring management practitioners fair trial. The paper adopts a
critical analysis of concepts
