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.
