Nigeria: NLI Commences Fellows Programme at Yale University

27 October 2014

The Nigeria Leadership Initiative (NLI) has concluded plans to commence a fellowship programme in partnership with Yale University. The inaugural class of NLI Fellows seminar will take place from October 25 - November 1, 2014 at the school campus in Connecticut, United States.

At the end of the seminar, 25 Nigerians will emerge as the first set of NLI fellows. This also means that NLI's membership network will now consist of Associate Fellows (Future Leaders), Fellows (Aspiring Leaders) and Senior Fellows (Accomplished Leaders). NLI Fellows are influential leaders who have reached an inflection point in their lives and are ready to deepen their leadership learning. The group said in a statement that NLI signed a partnership agreement with Yale University for the purpose of programmatic exchanges and collaboration to build leadership capacity in Africa; develop programs to enhance human capacity in Africa and foster interaction among talents. Leveraging on Yale's century-old tradition of grooming leaders, NLI is strategically committed to building a community of purposeful leadership to prepare today for the future in which we all desire to live.
