Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation Launches 4th Cohort Of Leaders Programme

The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation has launched the fourth cohort of the AIG Public Leaders Programme (PLP).

The programme was delivered in partnership with the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford.

In a statement, the foundation said the groundbreaking initiative had successfully empowered 169 public sector leaders since 2021, advancing the foundation’s mission to train 3,000 public sector leaders by 2030, equipping them with the essential skills to drive impactful reforms and strengthen service delivery in their Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).

The AIG PLP is an executive training programme that builds the capabilities of African public sector leaders, positioning them to deliver measurable results and foster cultures of integrity, excellence, and innovation. The Foundation’s vision is to cultivate a new generation of leaders who can address complex challenges, implementing sustainable reforms that resonate across communities.

The programme, according to the foundation,  has already showcased remarkable results. “Programme alumni have implemented transformative reform projects in their various organisations, a core element of the curriculum, creating a ripple effect of positive change across sectors. One such change project was implemented by Dr. Ibiwunmi Olokun, Medical Officer of Health and Primary Health Care Coordinator at the Lagos State Primary Healthcare Board and a member of Cohort 3 of the programme. Dr Olokun led a project at her Primary Healthcare Centre that reduced patient waiting times from 70 minutes to 30 minutes. This successful model is now being adopted in other units and facilities within her health district in Lagos State.
