Alfred and Victoria Associates

What Alfred and Victoria Associates does

Alfred and Victoria Associates (AVA) is a privately held Nigerian management consulting firm headquartered in Magodo, Lagos, that delivers human capital solutions to organizations and individual professionals. Its core offerings span HR advisory, recruitment and executive search, learning and development, HR outsourcing (including payroll, onboarding, and compliance), and project management and IT consulting. The firm operates on a professional services plus training model: recruitment and HR outsourcing engagements are delivered on a retainership or project basis, while structured training programs (PMP, PRINCE2, ITIL 4, Scrum, leadership, HR, AI productivity) are sold either to corporate cohorts or via an e-commerce storefront with approximately 99 listed training products priced in Nigerian Naira (₦35,000-₦600,000 per program).

AVA's go-to-market is sales-led through its Lagos office, supplemented by direct consultation requests and a content marketing engine (Insights blog, LinkedIn, and topical articles on AI training, remote work, and career growth). The customer base spans telecom, travel, insurance, industrial, and consumer sectors, with named retained clients including Cobranet (since 2017), BlueChip (since 2017), MainOne (including an executive CFO placement), and WakaNow (a multi-year recruitment engagement). The firm also serves SMEs, individual professionals, and government/parastatal bodies through training cohorts and certification preparation.

The company has roughly 11-50 employees (claiming 30 regional consultants), claims 20+ years of consulting experience and 72 rewards and accolades, and shows no disclosed external funding or ownership activity. Its technology stack is primarily service-delivery oriented — instructor-led training, recruitment workflows, and AI/literacy training on third-party generative AI tools — rather than proprietary software products.
