Lagos, Nigeria – November 6, 2026 — Moniepoint, Wema Bank, ipNX Nigeria, Talstack, Hydrogen Payments, and several other organizations have been recognized at the inaugural Enterprise Learning Awards (TELA), held on November 6, 2026, in Lagos, Nigeria. The awards celebrate excellence, innovation, and outstanding contributions to organizational learning and development across Africa, recognizing organizations and learning service providers demonstrating commitment to workforce development and business performance.
The awards formed part of the fourth edition of the Organizational Learning & Development Conference (OLxDCon26), organized by the Organizational Learning & Development Network (OLxD), which also took place on November 6, 2026, in Lagos.
Held under the theme “Driving Sustainable Learning in Unstable Business Environments,” the conference brought together learning and development professionals, business leaders, HR executives, learning solution providers, and industry experts from diverse sectors to explore how organizations can strengthen workforce capabilities, adapt to changing business demands, and position learning as a strategic driver of organizational performance.
The conference featured keynote presentations, leadership panel discussions, practical breakout workshops, an exhibition, and networking opportunities that encouraged participants to exchange ideas, share experiences, and explore solutions to workplace learning challenges.
The event received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants, who commended the relevance of the conversations, quality of the sessions, diversity of industry perspectives, and opportunities for meaningful professional networking. Beyond the formal sessions, OLxDCon26 created an environment for learning professionals, business leaders, and service providers to connect, exchange practical insights, and build relationships that extend beyond the conference.
A major highlight of the event was the presentation of The Enterprise Learning Awards (TELA), established to recognize organizations and learning service providers demonstrating excellence in learning strategy, technology adoption, leadership development, inclusive learning, and learning delivery. The awards were evaluated by an independent panel of judges using defined assessment criteria, reinforcing TELA’s commitment to credibility, transparency, and recognition based on merit rather than popularity.
Among the recipients, Moniepoint received the Best Use of Learning Technology Award, while Multipro Consumer Products Limited (MCPL) and Purple Academy (Wema Bank) were jointly recognized with the Enterprise Learning Strategy Excellence Award. The Inclusive Learning Excellence Award went to Technology for Social Impact and Development Initiative, while ipNX Nigeria Limited received the Leadership Development Programme of the Year Award.
In the learning service provider categories, Microfinance Agricultural Learning and Development Centre received the Learning Delivery Excellence Award, Talstack was named Learning Technology Provider of the Year, and Notch Software Limited (NotchHR) received the Proprietary Learning Technology of the Year Award.
Hydrogen Payments was recognized with the Rising Star Organisation Award, while Dataleum emerged as Training Provider of the Year.
The recognition of these organizations highlights the growing importance of learning and development as a strategic business function and the role of innovative learning practices in strengthening workforce performance, organizational adaptability, and long-term business sustainability.
Through TELA, OLxD aims to encourage organizations to invest more intentionally in workforce development, adopt innovative approaches to organizational learning, and demonstrate the measurable contribution of learning initiatives to business outcomes.
Since its establishment in 2022, the Organizational Learning & Development Network (OLxD) has continued to create platforms for professional development, industry conversations, research, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among learning professionals across Africa. Its initiatives include annual conferences, professional webinars, leadership development programmes, industry research reports, networking events, and the Enterprise Learning Awards.
The successful conclusion of OLxDCon26 and the inaugural TELA represents another milestone in the network’s efforts to strengthen Africa’s organizational learning and development ecosystem and promote the strategic relevance of workplace learning.
OLxD remains committed to advancing the organizational learning and development industry across Africa by promoting professional excellence, facilitating meaningful collaboration, recognizing outstanding practices, and advocating for learning as a critical driver of organizational performance and sustainable growth.
The Enterprise Learning Awards will return in 2027, continuing to spotlight organizations and learning solution providers setting new standards for excellence in workplace learning across Africa.
