The Chartered Institute of Directors Nigeria (CIoD) has launched its Chartered Director Certification (ChDC) programme, which aims to raise professional directorship standards in Nigeria. The programme provides a structured pathway for developing, validating, and recognising directorship, with successful candidates awarded the Chartered Director designation and entitled to use the professional suffix "Ch.Dir."
CIoD Nigeria's President, Mr. Adetunji Oyebanji, highlighted the importance of experience complemented by a structured pathway for knowledge development, competence validation, and professional standard reinforcement. The programme adopts a flexible blended learning model divided into three stages: the Certificate in Company Directorship, the Advanced Certificate in Company Directorship, and the Chartered Directorship, which includes experience-based assessment and a professional interview.
The launch of the ChDC is seen as a significant milestone in the institute's efforts to strengthen directorship and governance across Nigeria.
