Governance 500 is a training & networking programme for those involved in governance, those who wish to hold political office or participate in the political process in other capacities

The programme aims to train and equip 500 individuals every year to create an informed and credible network that will make a difference in the history of the nation.

Members of the Governance 500 will receive practical knowledge in governance & policy, join enabling networks to realise political ambition and get access to online resources.

Why Governance 500?

Governance 500 was designed to provide solutions to the following challenges:

1. Leadership vacuum at various levels of governance
2. The need for interventions in key problem areas of governance
3. Inaccessibility of the political process: There is a need to provide insight into and access to Nigeria’s political process and structure at all levels – Federal, State & Local Governments and Political Parties.

Governance 500 will provide knowledge and technical know-how from experienced players in governance, policy & politics.

Governance 500 will also identify a new crop of visionaries & engineers in policy formulation and nation-building.
