The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, in collaboration with the Oil Producers Trade Section (OPTS), has successfully concluded a four-week leadership and project management training program for 61 Directors from Nigeria’s Federal Civil Service.

The foundation in a statement noted that the training, which was hosted at the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF), focused on enhancing the leadership skills and project management capabilities of participants drawn from 10 different ministries.

Director of Planning, Research, and Statistics at the Federal Ministry of Power, Mrs. Bosede Opeyemi Olaniyi, said: “It was a privilege to be selected for the inaugural cohort of this training programme.”When I first saw the training schedule, I was worried as it posed some conflicts with my work commitments, but the comprehensive outline quickly convinced me of its immense value. I found the project management module particularly enlightening. Beyond the academic content, the opportunity to connect with other Directors from across federal MDAs is invaluable.”

On her part, Director of Programmes at the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, Chioma Njoku, praised the commitment of the participants, stating, “These dedicated civil servants have demonstrated exceptional commitment throughout the training. By investing in their leadership development, we are empowering them to become catalysts for transformation in the public sector. This training is a crucial step towards our shared goal of improving the lives of Nigerians.”
