Welcome to
Fled Institute
Fled International Leadership Institute is a graduate leadership School established to provide executive leadership education to produce transformational public leaders in Africa.
Fled Institute was established on August 15, 1999, and incorporated in Nigeria on January 21, 2010, as a Company Limited by Guarantee under the Companies and Allied Matters Act CAP 59, Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is approved by Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Education and has it’s headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital.
The Institute is the training arm of the incorporated trustees of the Foundation for Leadership & Education Development – a Charitable Foundation established in Nigeria on April 17, 1995.
Rationale for Fled Institute
Human capital development is central to overall socio-political and economic development in any nation. The driver of development itself is leadership. Visionary, human-interest leadership ensures effective governance. Good governance promotes sustainable development in all societies. Evidence is overwhelming that Sub-Saharan Africa has suffered prolonged under-development due to low-quality leadership.
We believe the quest for prosperity, peace, security, and sustainable development in Africa rests on her readiness to train, nurture, and deploy quality leaders to take charge of public resources for public interest. These leaders and technocrats must be far-sighted, values-driven, creative, ethical and tolerant of human diversities, and able to harness diversity for sustainable human development.
Fled Institute promotes the principles that embody universal shared human experience. We emphasize ways to recognize individual biases and shift the mindset from judgment to transformational leadership that demonstrates compassion, curiosity, openness, and connection.

Our Core Values

Operational Context
The Institute adopts a professional approach to human capacity development programming that advances transformational leadership; institutional development; and intellectual scholarship through comparative study and research on social, political, and economic development issues.
Fled Institute seeks to provide high-quality, accessible, affordable, and innovative, educational leadership programs that meet the diverse needs of individuals pursuing advancement in their public lives, professions, and communities.
Leadership Certification
We recognize that success public life depends, not only on the possession of intellectual and technical skills, but also soft skills, which we classify as leadership skills. These skills certify that a person has the professional qualifications or competencies required to perform a specific job.
Because of the growing demand for soft skills in today’s workplaces as basis for promotion to higher leadership cadre, it has become imperative that professionals enrol in professional skills competency courses to obtain requisite certifications.
