The CIoD Nigeria’s Young Directors Forum (YDF) is a network of directors who are young and inexperienced on the board. This cuts across the SMEs, quoted companies, and unlisted private companies. The Forum captures directors that are young across companies in all sectors. Under YDF, young directors are assembled in a structured format for capacity development and mentorship, to give them the right tutelage to grow their leadership experience, exposure and corporate governance skills, culture, practices, as well as standards.
Members are keen knowledge seekers who take advantage of the access to free mentorship services provided by CIoD Nigeria to create strong peer networks that add value in the course of discharging their roles and responsibilities as directors. Ultimately, they are groomed to become CIoD Chartered Directors who give back to the society by mentoring others and supporting the growth of Nigeria’s economy.
The Forum organizes three major programmes, to provide the right platform for members’ capacity building and networking. The programmes are:
