Lagos Business School says it has
restructured its MBA programme to prepare its
students for the increasingly complex business
environment and global competitiveness.

The new curriculum, the school added in a
statement on Monday, would improve its
competitive edge among regional business
institutions.

On the restructuring, LBS Dean, Dr. Enase
Okonedo, said, “The demand for management
education in Africa will increase astronomically
in the next two decades. LBS is poised to tap
into this upsurge. Even though our graduates
regularly receive favourable reviews, we strive
for continuous improvement in providing the
quality management education expected from
our institution.

“The updated MBA curriculum, effective from
September 2015, will improve LBS’ competitive
edge among global and regional business
schools. It will prepare Africa’s best minds for
promising careers with local and multinational
companies expanding their operations in
emerging markets such as Nigeria, and equip
them with an entrepreneurial mindset to make
an impact in industry.

“The business environment is more complex
now and managers require new skill sets for
agile and nimble thinking, not just in Nigeria
but throughout Africa and around the world.”
Also, the MBA Director, Uchenna Uzo, said the
new set of participants of the programme
would have a strong foundation based on their
real-life experiences.

He added, “This will give them a firm basis
upon which to apply sophisticated lessons
and challenge their classmates and professors
in the process, for the mutual benefit of all
involved.”

With the restructuring, applicants will now
have a minimum of three years’ post-
qualification work experience, just as the
programme duration has been reduced to 18
months.

Hitherto, the programme lasted for 21 months.

This news just destroyed my day.

As a present 500L student, i've already started preparing and studying for GMAT only to see now that the NYSC service year will not be sufficient.
