Client: NNPC Limited – NUIMS (Nigerian Upstream Investment Management Services)

Location: Mövenpick Hotel Ikoyi, Lagos

Delivered by: Center for Learning (CFL) Training Services Ltd

Programme: AWS Cloud Practitioner & AWS Solutions Architect Training

The Challenge

NUIMS, the investment management arm of NNPC Limited, is responsible for managing upstream petroleum investments and supporting strategic decision-making within Nigeria’s energy sector.

As the organisation continues its digital transformation journey, there was a growing need to strengthen internal capacity in cloud technologies.

Before the training, several challenges were identified:

Limited understanding of cloud computing fundamentals among technical and business professionals.

Dependence on traditional on-premise infrastructure with limited exposure to scalable cloud architecture.

Skills gap in designing secure, highly available, and cost-optimised cloud solutions using AWS.

Need to understand how cloud platforms can support enterprise innovation, data management, and operational efficiency.

Limited practical experience with core AWS services such as EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, and RDS.

NUIMS recognised that building cloud capability within its workforce was essential to support future technology initiatives and improve operational agility.

CFL’s Intervention

To address these challenges, Center for Learning (CFL) Training Services Ltd delivered an intensive instructor-led training programme covering both AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Solutions Architect foundations.

The training took place at Mövenpick Hotel Ikoyi Lagos and was designed to combine strategic understanding with hands-on technical learning.

The intervention included:

Structured sessions explaining AWS cloud fundamentals and global infrastructure.

Deep dives into key AWS services including EC2, S3, IAM, RDS, VPC, and cloud security frameworks.

Practical architectural discussions on building scalable, resilient, and fault-tolerant cloud solutions.

Guidance on cost optimisation strategies and AWS pricing models.

Real-world scenarios to help participants understand how cloud technology can support enterprise operations.

Interactive discussions allowing participants to align AWS capabilities with their organisational needs.

The training was tailored to bridge both technical and strategic gaps, enabling participants to understand not just the tools but also how to apply them within enterprise environments.

Results

  • The programme delivered measurable impact for the participants and the organisation.

    Participants developed a clear understanding of AWS cloud architecture and service integration.

    Improved capability to design secure, scalable, and resilient enterprise cloud solutions.

    Better understanding of AWS cost management and resource optimisation.

    Increased confidence among participants to support cloud-related initiatives within their departments.

    Enhanced awareness of how cloud technology can drive innovation, improve data accessibility, and support operational efficiency in the energy sector.

    The training also helped align NUIMS professionals with global best practices in cloud computing and digital transformation.

Client Feedback

Participants expressed strong appreciation for the depth and practical approach of the programme. Many highlighted that the training helped demystify cloud architecture and made complex AWS concepts easier to understand.

The interactive nature of the sessions and real-world case discussions were particularly valued, as they helped connect cloud technologies to real business applications.
