Founder’s Message

I believe that Africa has boundless potential and one of the most important components to achieving this is by developing our people’s inherent capacity to be productive. With a career span of 30 years, in both private and public sectors, and having served as a member of the Executive Council of Lagos State, Nigeria, I observed firsthand the needs and yearnings of our human capital across the nation.

HIG Africa was set up to catalyse the economic and social mobility of our target beneficiaries, youth, women and leaders across the continent. Our plan is to aggregate, invest and deploy resources that will directly impact our human capital, making them more competitive as individuals and linking them with opportunities in the global talent marketplace. In short, we aspire to be a major player in unleashing Africa’s human potential!

We keep our partners at the ‘heart’ of all we do

At HIG Africa, we are dedicated to transforming the way human capital is valued and leveraged. Our goal is to invest in the capacity development of beneficiaries—focusing on women and youth across Africa—who may not otherwise have access to such opportunities by providing support for educational and capacity development (skilling, upskilling, and reskilling) needs.

Our impact focuses on four key areas: Leadership, Youth, Women, and the Unskilled Labor Market. In each of these sectors, our customised solutions address complex challenges that go beyond conventional approaches.

We believe that true, sustainable development is an ongoing journey that incorporates innovative research, forward-thinking strategies, and proven methodologies. Unlocking potential is a continuous process, and we are committed to supporting our beneficiaries not only financially but also by connecting them with local and international job and income opportunities to sustain themselves, support their dependents, and contribute actively to their communities and societies.

Our four core focus areas are on:

Human Capital Consultancy: Our consultancy services are tailored to help organizations optimize their most valuable asset: People. By partnering closely with businesses, we develop customised strategies to enhance workforce performance, foster growth, and drive sustainable, impactful change from within.

Outsourcing Solutions We assist organisations in bridging skill gaps by connecting them with highly qualified, vetted professionals. Our solutions enable businesses to scale effectively, ensuring teams are equipped with the talent and expertise needed to succeed and drive growth.

Online Digital Learning Solutions: Our digital learning platform delivers accessible, relevant, and high-quality educational resources, fostering essential skills in today’s rapidly changing world.
