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.
Under the leadership of three distinguished Presidents – Dr. Oladimeji Alo LDM, Rev. Collins Edebiri LDM, and Mr. Olumide Ajomale LDM – LDNI has become a beacon for excellence in L&D.
LDNI’s impact has been profound, providing a structured learning approach based on the ATD’s Talent Capability Model and promoting ethical standards for L&D practitioners. The weekly Learning Circles and the annual Champion of Talent Development (CTD) conferences have become flagship events, offering members and non-members unparalleled networking and talent development opportunities.
With a strong governance structure, comprising a Board of Trustees and a Governing Council, LDNI is poised for continued success and impact.
As the champion of learning and development, LDNI is dedicated to empowering professionals, driving organizational growth, and contributing to global development.
