Dr Bosun Tijani, Honourable Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, is set to lead other stakeholders to the Courier and Logistics Management Institute (CLMI’s) International Conference and Investiture 2023.
The Minister will chair the occasion scheduled for Thursday, November 23, 2023 at the Oriental Hotel, Lagos, while Distinguished Senator Aliyu Ikra Bilbis, Chairman, Senate Committee on Communications, will deliver the keynote address.
CLMI is the first and the only academic and a professional Institute in the world with a combination of courier, logistics, transport and management as one capacity building package.
Speaking during a press conference on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, Professor Simon Emeje, the executive chairman, Courier and Logistics Management Institute (CLMI) said that the annual International Conference and Investiture of Courier and Logistics Management Institute (CLMI), is normally an epoch-making event that stimulates discussions and make contributions to the national and enterprise agenda for the realization of national and corporate success, including creation of job opportunities.

“It is a gathering of sharp minds and focused personalities and professionals worldwide from Nigeria, some European and African countries.
“It attracts renowned international speakers on topical emergent industry, national and international issues. It is a forum for good networking and face-lifting of businesses and individuals”, Prof. Emeje said.
He said that the field of Courier, Logistics and Transport Management is relatively untapped globally.
“In the contemporary times, the business of courier, logistics and transport has become critical in national development. This prominence and the need to train and promote professionalism and certification in courier, logistics, transport and management services have made it imperative to establish this Institute (CLMI)”, the Executive Chairman said.
He added that in the context of integration, the effects of logistics on the economy and enterprises are becoming ever more important.
When the economy of a country develops, it is propelled by the development of logistics. On the other hand, as logistics develops, it is the foundation for the development of other industries and infrastructure in the economy.
“Today, logistics is even more important when it is considered a base for sectors of the economy because it helps to link the flow of goods and services from the first partners to the final customers. Besides, the industry of Logistics, Courier, Transport and Management commands an average asset worth of over three (3) trillion Naira. It has great potentials to create millions of job opportunities.
“This explains why logistics is essential to all businesses and to the economy, and it is for this reason that this year’s CLMI International Conference and Investiture is focusing on “Logistics Solutions and National Infrastructure Development”, he added.
Prof. Emeje further said that the event will feature Panel Discussions emanating from the Keynote Paper and the public presentation of the book titled: ‘Logistics Solutions for Enterprise and Infrastructure’.

The event, earlier scheduled for December 7, 2025, was deferred to accommodate stakeholders whose observance of Christmas festivities had commenced earlier than expected.
Chairman of the Organising Committee, Mr. Israel Opayemi, urged stakeholders to note the new date and prepare to participate in the ceremony.
He said the awards would motivate professionals, practitioners and scholars, while enhancing Nigeria’s global competitiveness in the public relations ecosystem and strengthening brand equity for all stakeholders.
Opayemi reaffirmed the Committee’s commitment to delivering a best-in-class award administration and ceremony, describing the PRICE Awards as a credible and enduring platform to identify, celebrate and elevate outstanding individuals, campaigns and organisations shaping the public relations landscape across sectors.
The development of the PRICE Awards peaked in September 2025 when the NIPR President and Chairman, Council, Dr. Ike Neliaku, inaugurated a 12-man committee to organise the maiden edition. The inauguration followed the Council’s adoption of the report of a technical team tasked with establishing the awards.
Netflix has announced a landmark agreement to acquire Warner Bros. and HBO Max in a transaction valued at $82.7 billion, a move analysts say will reshape the global entertainment industry.

The deal, which includes Warner Bros.’ film and television studios, HBO, HBO Max, and Warner Bros. Games, was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies. Under the terms, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shareholders will receive $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix shares for each WBD share.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos described the acquisition as “a defining moment” for the streaming giant, noting that the company intends to maintain Warner Bros.’ current operations while expanding its production capacity.
“By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies with Netflix’s culture-defining titles, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling,” Sarandos said.
The transaction is expected to close within 12 to 18 months, following the planned spin-off of WBD’s TV networks division, Discovery Global, in 2026. Netflix projects annual cost savings of $2–3 billion by the third year after completion and expects the deal to be accretive to earnings per share by year two.
Industry groups, including the Directors Guild of America and Cinema United, have raised concerns about the impact on movie theaters, while regulators are expected to scrutinize the deal over antitrust issues. Netflix has pledged to continue supporting theatrical releases, with Warner Bros.’ cinema commitments running through 2029.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav hailed the agreement, saying it “combines two of the greatest storytelling companies in the world to bring to even more people the entertainment they love.”
Observers note that the acquisition comes 15 years after former Time Warner chief Jeff Bewkes dismissed Netflix as “the Albanian army,” underscoring the dramatic shift in the entertainment landscape.
A major shake‑up rocks viewers and subscribers of DSTV/GOTV as many channels are set to shut down and be removed on January 1, 2026.
The trigger for the upcoming shut‑down is a breakdown in negotiations between the owners of multiple global channels and the pay‑TV operator.
As of December 2025, the deal between Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and DStv/GOtv has expired and the two parties have not reached a renewal agreement.
Without a new carriage/distribution agreement, the channels belonging to WBD risk being pulled off the DStv/GOtv line‑up.
This is the most significant content cutback the service has seen in years.
The affected channels are:
Discovery Channel
TLC
Cartoonito
Cartoon Network
CNN International
Food Network
The Travel Channel
TNT
Investigation Discovery
Real Time
HGTV
Discovery Family
