How AFSS delivers globally-recognized statistical programming skills at zero cost to qualified Nigerian graduates.
The Adeniji Foundation of Statistical Science (AFSS) was founded on a simple but stubborn conviction: brilliance is endemic in Nigeria, but opportunity is scarce. Our flagship program answers that gap by delivering an intensive, fully-funded Clinical SAS Programming training designed to move qualified graduates directly into the global pharmaceutical workforce.
The curriculum is not a shortened bootcamp. It runs for six months of full-time classroom instruction, followed by a supervised micro-internship. Students are trained in SAS Base and Advanced programming, SDTM and ADaM standards, CDISC compliance, clinical trial design, and the safety domains that regulators such as the FDA expect to see in submission-ready deliverables.
Every material cost is absorbed by the Foundation. Students are issued laptops, headsets, uninterrupted power, dedicated internet, weekly transport stipends, and full sponsorship of the SAS Base certification exam. The only thing we ask of our students is their time, discipline, and a commitment to pay the opportunity forward.
The training is deliberately located in Ibadan, the historic capital of Oyo State, so that talent from the region does not have to migrate to be seen. Our first cohort graduated in November 2023, and the next intake will be announced on this website once fundraising for the second cohort is complete.
