About AOPN

Purpose built for a profession with global potential.

AOPN is a not-for-profit platform for strengthening professional outsourcing practice, capability and representation in Nigeria.

Our story

From cross-border dialogue to a national professional platform.

Following the International Trade Centre's Bridges Across Borders Conference in October 2008, Nigerian industry stakeholders recognised the need for a formal association that could represent the country's outsourcing profession, exchange market knowledge and promote partnerships.

AOPN was registered in 2009. Today, its enduring purpose is to help institutionalise professionalism in outsourcing and support an environment where local providers can participate credibly in Nigerian and global opportunities.

AOPN's role: The association provides a shared platform for professional standards, capacity development, advocacy and industry collaboration across Nigeria's outsourcing ecosystem.
