0
As Nigeria’s financial sector grapples with rising regulatory demands, cyber threats, climate-related risks and increasing market volatility, DataPro, one of the country’s foremost credit rating agencies and compliance consulting firms, has launched a specialised Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Bootcamp to strengthen the risk management capabilities of industry professionals.
The five-day intensive programme, scheduled to hold from August 3 to 7, 2026, at the DataPro Academy in Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos, is designed to equip participants with advanced technical and practical skills required to navigate today’s increasingly complex business and regulatory environment.
According to the company, the face-to-face training will focus on building enterprise-wide risk management expertise by enabling participants to identify, assess and integrate credit, market, operational, liquidity and compliance risks into a comprehensive risk management framework.
The bootcamp comes at a time when Nigerian financial institutions are under growing pressure to strengthen governance, improve resilience and comply with evolving local and global regulatory standards.
Participants will receive hands-on training in critical areas, including IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss (ECL) modelling, Value-at-Risk (VaR), Economic Value of Equity (EVE), Basel III and Basel IV regulatory requirements, as well as the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Risk-Based Supervision (RBS) framework.
DataPro said the programme is structured to help organisations build proactive risk cultures, reinforce governance structures and improve long-term sustainability through practical simulations, scenario analysis and macroeconomic stress-testing exercises.
“We invite organisations to register their staff for this intensive face-to-face programme to sharpen their Enterprise Risk Management expertise with confidence and precision,” the company stated.
Beyond traditional risk management disciplines, the curriculum will also address emerging areas such as climate-related financial risks, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence governance, asset and liability management, operational resilience and enterprise risk governance.
The training is targeted at Chief Risk Officers, Risk Managers, Compliance Officers, Finance and Treasury professionals, Internal Auditors, senior executives and board members seeking to strengthen institutional risk governance and regulatory compliance.
Established in 1995, DataPro has grown into one of Nigeria’s three licensed credit rating agencies and remains a leading provider of compliance advisory, enterprise risk management and professional capacity-building services across Africa.
The company disclosed that it has trained professionals from more than 70 per cent of Nigeria’s banks and non-bank financial institutions while maintaining strategic partnerships with regulatory and professional bodies across the continent.
Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) and the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) as a Compliance Academy, DataPro also serves as a registered trustee of the Compliance Institute of Nigeria (CIN).
The firm said its extensive industry experience and globally aligned training approach position it to prepare organisations for emerging risks while enhancing institutional resilience and sustainable business growth in an increasingly dynamic financial landscape.
