Invitation for Expression of Interest (EoI) for the Proposed Renovation of the Central Bank of Nigeria, International Training Institute at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)

Posted by Kordinichi on Thu 24th Oct, 2024 - nigeriantenders.com

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) invites reputable and competent contractors and consultants to indicate their interest to pre-qualify for the Proposed Renovation of the Central Bank of Nigeria, International Training Institute, Maitama, Abuja. Interested contractors and consultants should possess relevant qualifications and experience.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (hereafter referred to as "CBN" or "the Bank"), being the apex Bank of the country, occupies a central position in the economic and social development of Nigeria. In an effort to fulfil its vision of being the best in class among the world's central banks, the Bank aims at building a capable workforce by providing effective learning and development solution that will close competency gaps and enable the delivery of its strategic objectives.

The CBN International Training Institute (ITI) was designed as a specialized training Institute for CBN staff and a global training hub for staff of private/public sector agencies, thus saving cost from some overseas trainings and generating revenue for the Bank. However, the current dilapidation of the facility has rendered it ineffective to serve its original objective of being a global centre for specialized training.

Consequently, the Bank now wishes to invite reputable and competent Contractors and Consultants with certified knowledge, verifiable capacity and experience to indicate interest to pre-qualify for the underlisted project:
