In a strategic move aimed at closing Nigeria’s skills gap and aligning local institutions with global best practices, Giant Gee Nigeria Limited has unveiled a comprehensive set of capacity-building and professional development programmes scheduled for implementation in 2026, in partnership with an Italian training firm.
The Managing Director of the company, Ambassador Augustine Chigbolu, disclosed this during a press briefing on the organisation’s strategic outlook for the coming year, describing the initiative as a deliberate investment in human capital development and sustainable economic growth.
Chigbolu revealed that Giant Gee Nigeria has concluded arrangements with DT2 Italy, an international training and development organisation, to deliver the programmes in collaboration with Vinik Parliamentary Consult.
He said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to providing practical, impactful and internationally competitive training for Nigeria’s public and private sectors.
According to him, the 2026 training cycle will be implemented under two broad categories: vocational training programmes and capacity-building programmes for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
The vocational programmes will focus on critical growth areas such as environmental sustainability, with emphasis on waste management and recycling; information technology, including artificial intelligence simulations and ICT; distribution chain and logistics; as well as online vocational agribusiness training to be delivered in English.
For MDAs, the capacity-building component is designed to strengthen governance, accountability and digital transformation. Key focus areas include taxation and tax policy, financial management and audit, as well as digital government and e-commerce.
Ambassador Chigbolu noted that the collaboration with DT2 Italy and Vinik Parliamentary Consult would ensure the adoption of globally aligned training standards, while tailoring content to Nigeria’s development realities.
He added that by combining local insight with international expertise, the programmes would position organisations and individuals to remain competitive in an increasingly digital and interconnected global economy.
Giant Gee Nigeria Limited stated that further details on programme schedules, participation criteria and implementation timelines would be announced in due course.
