We are thrilled to introduce Eniola Ibiwoye, the first recipient of our newly launched OPL Scholars Program.

Selected from the top 10% of our 2025 graduates, Eniola represents the excellence and determination that define OPL Academy alumni.

OPL Academy is bridging the gap between technical excellence and professional opportunity, transforming Nigeria's skilled artisans into complete professionals ready for the formal construction sector.

In today’s talent-driven market, pay raises and perks are no longer enough to keep top performers. Employees crave growth opportunities, yet most organizations fail to deliver. With 94% of workers saying they’d stay longer if their company invested in their development—but only 29% of businesses offering robust programs—the retention gap is widening. The companies that win aren’t just paying employees; they’re growing them.

Training shouldn’t be generic—it should target the real workplace challenges Nigerian businesses face daily.

While this practice seems to have gradually declined over the years with the rise of formal education, apprenticeship is slowly making a comeback into the system.
