Celtel Nigeria and the British Council have announced plans to develop another pool of managers whom they envisage to take companies operating in Nigeria to a higher level of success in the global economy.
The agreement between Celtel and the United Kingdom organisation devoted to promoting learning opportunities and creative ideas, would help the country develop a crop of young professionals in management and leadership under the platform of the organisation‘s Management Express programme.
Management Express is a set of products developed by British Council targeted at early to mid-career professionals and designed to assist them to develop their career.

In a statement on Friday, the Sponsorship Manager, Celtel Nigeria, Mr. Chris Adetayo, said the company was involved in the programme because of its commitment to empowering young and mid career professionals. He stated that wanted to help create a pool of future bright and competent business leaders that would drive the engine of Nigeria corporate business.

He said the series of lectures or professional workshops and mentorship programmes which open to those who were just starting their professional career and those in middle level management would help to make the participants become better managers and leaders. The scheme held several sessions in June across various cities in the country as part of the professional management development programme.

The company said the July programme would focus on strategy for achieving results or achieving goals.
