Empowering Professionals Through Continuous Learning

At AFPA Nigeria, our commitment to excellence is rooted in lifelong learning. We believe that continuous professional development is essential for maintaining the high standards required in financial planning. As part of this commitment, every member is mandated to attend the annual Mandatory Continuing Professional Workshop (MCPW), a cornerstone event that validates your membership and ensures you are updated on the latest industry trends, regulatory changes, and best practices.
