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.
