Introduction

Registered with government, affiliated with the United Nations.

ILPI is registered with various federal government ministries, departments, and agencies, affiliated with the United Nations, and headquartered in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.

The institute was conceived against the backdrop of Nigeria’s lingering unimpressive political and corporate leadership culture, which has over the decades failed to mount the nation’s developmental trajectory on the strong wings of her huge and highly diversified natural resources for a transformed society in all ramifications.

Realizing that as an organization we can neither formulate nor implement the policies by which the national scheme of things is governed, the founders adopted a name in which the word For means “support for” — signifying that our vision, mission and mandate are underpinned on support for, and promotion of, good leadership and people-focused policy formulation and implementation.

Past activities

From policy on paper to dividends on the ground

The institute’s past activities cut across several sectors of the national bureaucratic policy implementation programs and our organizational in-house efforts aimed at encouraging good leadership in all facets of our national life.

They fall into three broad areas: targeted healthcare intervention and enlightenment programs; capacity building and information sharing through workshops and conferences; and the conferment of the prestigious ILPI Fellowship (FILPI) and tailored excellence awards on deserving personalities and organizations.

The people

The board of directors and management team.

Seven like-minded Nigerians met in the closing quarter of 2018 to brainstorm on the possibility of corporately contributing towards changing the national narrative. They became the subscribers and directors of the emergent institute, which runs today on a lean but experienced, effective and result-oriented management team.
