HISTORY OF EAPA—NIGERIA
The EAP into Nigeria project was launched in July 2012 by the then President of EAPA International Jeff Christy. The Launching was done during an international conference sponsored by Chevron Corporation and hosted by the EAP unit of Chevron Nigeria. EAPA International and EAPA South Africa coordinated the conference. Participants were drawn from Nigeria, South Africa, Angola, United States of America and China.
In 2013, EAPA Nigeria was registered as a member and chapter of EAPA International.
Early 2015, the Association was registered as a professional body with the government in Nigeria– (EAPA – NIGERIA). Since the inauguration of the association, it has continued to train and develop the capacity of her members across the country.
Presently the association is working with universities to make EAP a degree programme in the country. It has also helped some industrial organization to start EAP services for her employees.
EAPA-Nigeria is in close collaboration with allied professional bodies, corporate entities, mental health institutions, government agencies, and EAP Associations in Africa and the world at large.
We bring more than 12 years’ senior experience in forging
collaborations across government.
We position our clients at the forefront of their field by advanced services.
With over 20 years of leadership experience, EAPA Nigeria fosters strategic collaborations across government, the private sector, and international platforms to advance employee assistance and workplace well-being.
