Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, GCON, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria
...Yorubas are not better off on their own, Igbos are not better off on their own, the North is not better off on its own. We are better off as one nation, that is why we are strong and that is why we can face the world.
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, GCON, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria

Our Core Values
Professionalism
We pride ourselves in the exceptional way we carry out our duties. Professionalism is not just a buzz word for us, it is a life style embedded in our organizations DNA.
Independent Thinking
Everyone at the Savannah Centre is an independent thinker capable of generating ideas and coming up with innovative ways to solve emergent problems.
Empathy
To immerse ourselves in the situations or circumstances of others and see the world from their perspective is very vital to how we conduct ourselves when faced with problems; it also guides us towards creativity in finding sustainable solutions.
Team Spirit
At Savannah we work as a team and members of a family. Everyone is carried along and each person is valued for his or her competences and buttons.
