Lagos Business School has once again been ranked as a
top global school by the Financial Times (FT).
This is LBS’ eleventh consecutive appearance in the annual ranking of
top business and management education providers in the world done by FT.
According to the FT’s Executive Education 2017 ranking
published in London, LBS is ranked among the most prestigious business schools
globally in two categories: open enrollment and customs executive education.
The Lagos Business School is one of only four schools in Africa that made the
prestigious list.
Dean of LBS, Dr Enase Okonedo in her remarks,
reiterated the commitment of the School to providing global standard business
and management education. “The FT ranking is in further recognition of our
continuous efforts at providing world class business and management education
with local relevance to Nigeria and Africa. Our business school’s determination
for excellence has also recently been recognized by our accreditation by the Association
to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the association of MBA’s
(AMBA).”
Dr. Okonedo also added that as part of plans to extend
the benefit of LBS education to other Africans, the school had been admitting
more non-Nigerian nationals to its programmes, and would also be extending its
executive education to other African countries.
The Financial Times of London publishes annually a list
of the best management programmes from business schools around the world, based
on the quality of learning, staff and student diversity, growth in business and
international reach.
Other schools that made this year’s ranking apart from
Lagos Business School are the Harvard Business School, USA, the IESE Business
School, Spain, and IMD in Switzerland. Others in Africa include the Gordon
Institute of Business Science (GIBS), USB Executive Development and Graduate
School of Business, all in South Africa.
