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 today 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 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.
