TGI Group, a leader in innovation and sustainability, has announced its enhanced commitment to creating digital and green jobs as part of its strategic HR initiatives. Akinkunle Akinpelu, Director of Group Human Resources at TGI Group, highlighted this commitment during a panel discussion at the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) Summit in Abuja.

“Green and Digital Jobs: Expanding the Frontiers and Pragmatic Approach towards the Creation of Decent Jobs”

Akinkunle Akinpelu emphasized TGI’s dedication to sustainability, stating, “Sustainability is a core element of our HR strategy. Over the past five years, we’ve hired hundreds of young professionals worldwide to tackle environmental challenges. Our teams work on projects ranging from afforestation and water management to energy-saving initiatives.”

TGI Group is also making significant strides in digital transformation. “We constantly employ world-class solutions to overhaul our processes where necessary,” Akinpelu added. “This digital shift not only enhances efficiency but empowers a new generation of professionals bringing fresh solutions and perspectives.”

Akinpelu highlighted the group’s renewable energy efforts, particularly their rice plant in Argungu, Kebbi State. “Our 250,000 metric tonnes rice plant operates without fossil fuels. We recycle rice husks to generate power. By 2025, several of our factories will follow suit, reducing carbon emissions and promoting cleaner air,” he said.

The panel also featured prominent industry figures including Dr. Afiz Oluwatoyin, DG Industrial Training Fund (ITF); Dr. Eugene Itua, MD of Natural Eco Capital; Dr. Eugene Phala, Director, International Labour Organisation (ILO) Abuja; and Dr. Emmanuel Okeleji, CEO of Seamless HR. They underscored the critical role of green and digital jobs in Nigeria’s economic development.

TGI Group’s commitment to creating sustainable and digital jobs highlights its role as a pioneer in driving forward-thinking initiatives that benefit both the economy and the environment.
