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.
