Message From The Registrar:

The Society of Project Management and Development Professionals International is a global Association of Project Management Practitioners.

I am delighted to welcome you to our website and thank you for visiting.

Our focus in the next few years is to begin the process of Building Partnership for a National Project Management Policy.

In preparation for this, we have expanded our operations to more regions of the country, with Liaison Offices in Lagos, Jos, Benin, Enugu, Ibadan, Port harcourt and Sokoto.

We have begun pilot sensitization programmes in schools, government agencies and Corporate organisations in readiness for the flag of National Project Management Sensitization Campaign which will be flagged off Nationwide in a few weeks.

We have also applied to license 3 new project management qualifications we developed to be recognised and endorsed in the United Kingdom. These will be premium qualifications in Project Management.

We also have plans to set up a National Membership Council to focus on membership engagement and development . This we believe will allow us to contribute directly to Nations development.

We are targeting 1,000 government agencies to carry out the SENSITIZATION Campaign and hope to equip 250,000 individuals to become Project Practitioners

We look forward to your partnership to make this a reality.

Dr Ayodele Edwards
