Why Towers ESG

Training Built for the Nigerian Context

Generic ESG training misses the nuances of operating in Nigeria — the regulatory landscape, the investor expectations, the sector-specific risks. Our programmes are built from the ground up for Nigerian and African organisations.

  • Facilitators with hands-on Nigerian ESG implementation experience
  • Case studies drawn from Nigerian industries — oil & gas, banking, FMCG, telecoms
  • Aligned with SEC, NGX, CBN, and NFIU sustainability guidelines
  • Practical tools and templates you can use immediately
  • Post-training support and access to our resource library
  • CPD-accredited programmes recognised by professional bodies
"

The ESG Reporting programme gave our sustainability team the practical skills to produce our first GRI-aligned report. The Nigerian regulatory context made all the difference — this wasn't generic training.
