About Us
In May 2011, a group of nine visionary L& D professionals attended the Association for Talent Development (ATD) conference in Orlando, Florida. Upon returning from the conference, they came together to promote the ATD model in Nigeria, inviting other practitioners to revolutionize the learning and development landscape in the country. This effort led to the formal inauguration of the Learning and Development Network of Nigeria (LDNI) in 2012, with a bold mission to elevate L&D standards and practices.
Starting with humble beginnings and regular Saturday morning breakfast meetings, LDNI has grown exponentially, establishing a strong presence in three key regions: Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Abuja.

AT LDNI, you will meet professionals from various walks of human endeavours with whom you can rub minds and glean fresh insights.
I have the opportunity of being a part of the early members of LDNI and the association has made tremendous stride in the field of Learning & Development in Nigeria and beyond. It is a body you need to be part of.

As one of the founders of this association, this is one of the associations any leader in any field needs to be a part of. Learning and development is very key to individual and organizational development.
