The management structure of the Center is divided into four cadres of staffing who oversee the day-to-day running of the Centers, especially the CeDFOCI, following this order:
The Senior Management team includes the Director, Deputy (ies), and Assistant Directors at DNALC Nigeria, including the Assistant Director in charge of CeDFOCI.
These are comprised of the Senior Administrative Secretaries, coordinators of programs, and heads of the various units.
These include team leaders, accountants, and advisors to the various Centers.
This cadre includes all the staff of the Centers who can be promoted into MLP or ALP cadres as they distinguish themselves and show leadership over the period of their involvement or work at the Center. It also includes visiting scholars, tutors, volunteers, and interns.
