The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation has initiated a new collaboration with the Oil Producers Trade Section (OPTS), of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), to equip directors in the Federal Civil Service with essential leadership, project management, and communication skills through a targeted training programme.
The OPTS represents about 30-member oil and gas companies that are registered in Nigeria and have an Oil Prospecting License or an oil mining license. The collaborative effort will be implemented by the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation in collaboration with the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF).
Director of Funding and Partnerships at the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, Bukky Akinsemoyin, said the initiative underscores the foundation’s unwavering commitment to strengthening public sector leadership and efficiency.
“Equipping directors in the civil service with the necessary skills will greatly enhance their ability to deliver essential services and drive national development. This initiative exemplifies the positive impact that can be achieved when the public and private sectors come together.”
Executive Director, OPTS, GwuekeAjaifia, said: “OPTS, recognising the importance of a well-equipped Civil Service, enthusiastically supports this training programme.
“We at OPTS are firm believers in supporting initiatives that strengthen the Nigerian public sector.”
According to him, this innovative training programme aligns perfectly with the foundation’s goal of accelerating Nigeria’s development through strategic partnerships that drive public sector transformation.
The foundation’s reach extends beyond the domain of digital fluency, as exemplified by its collaboration with the OHCSF on the Leadership Enhancement and Development Programme (LEAD-P). This programme exemplifies the foundation’s commitment to capacity building, facilitating eight-week internships for civil servants across a diverse range of private sector organisations.
