QHSES Leadership Academy has reiterated its commitment to filling some gaps, especially in the areas of unemployment, workplace safety failures, and weak leadership culture.
The academy made this known recently at the graduation ceremony of 643 students, who represented 17 nationalities across seven countries, besides Nigeria.
According to the founder, Jamiu Badmos, the academy offers free training because for many Nigerians, high cost of tuition and certifications had locked them out of opportunities.
“I grew up in Mushin. I know what it feels like to lack school fees. Instead of spending my life condemning government, I chose to add value. This academy is that value,” he said.
According to him, the academy is tuition-free, ISO 9001:2015-certified, and endorsed by 15 professional bodies. It is accredited by the American Council of Training and Development (ACTD), giving its graduates credibility in both local and global job markets.
He said Nigeria had long faced workplace tragedies linked to weak safety systems, which the academy sought to solve by introducing a new philosophy called “Safetainability”—Safe Thinking, Sustainable Living.
The approach, according to him, encourages leaders to combine safety with sustainability when building businesses and communities. In 2024, the academy launched Safetainability-4-Orphanage, an initiative that rebuilds hope for orphaned children through training, feeding, and mentorship.
“Orphans are no less human. We want them to smile like every other child,” Badmos said. During the convocation, the academy unveiled the Foundation for Excellence in Sustainability and Human Development (FESHD). The foundation was created to coordinate all initiatives connected to the academy, including QHSES Leadership Academy, Safetainability-4-Orphanage, and the SustainablePEOPLES Group.
