Hello everyone,

Please I need your advise. I'm at wits end as to how to successfully combine my career as a banker, which takes almost all of my time, with pursuit of a master's degree.


I am 27, a graduate of Anatomy, 2.2 from a Federal University, with about 2 years banking experience. I recently got promoted to the level of an Assistant Banking Officer (ABO) in one of the top Banks in the country. Take home pay is about 330k/month so I'm fairly comfortable. I'm still single and ain't looking to marry within the next two-three years so I believe I have time to wrap up my masters degree before taking the big step.


I'm looking to further my education, concurrently with my work, no passion for the sciences anymore, so I'm looking at an MBA. I've heard a lot of talk about online programs but I've come to realise they are either overly expensive or the cheap ones have little or no recognition in the labour market. I've tried the distance learning in one of the universities in the southeast but couldn't keep up due to time constraint, had to drop out cuz I missed a couple of tests and exams. I've also considered the National Open Uni but honestly speaking, I'd rather pursue my dreams at an institution with more pedigree (no offense intended).


Pls, I'd appreciate if there are any MBA programs that are cheap and flexible for working class individuals like myself based in Abuja who have a tight schedule. Thanks everyone.

the only thing I saw is ABO earning 330k/mth
Abi is ABO no more the level after ET?
What do BOs and SBOs now earn in that your bank? Guy fear God ooo

We are interested in that your bank o.
Make everybody submit application there.

Anyway, so many people have combined both and are still combining it.
The trick is getting a school close to your residence, someone would give you notes and assignments. If you have developed a good relationship with your boss, granting you permission to write exams wouldn't be a hard nut to crack.

You might not gain the necessary knowledge, you would just have a 'Masters'.

I work in Abj and I do my MBA in University of Agriculture Makurdi, I come for only exams... The MBA coordinator is a nice man once you are ready to Leverage

No carry over so far Bro, By August I will be tru with my coursework

Creamish:


I'm guessing Heritage Bank.

He should do his MBA at National Open University. That's his best bet if he wants to combine schooling and working without the stress of traveling or even weekend programs. It all depends on how book-smart he is. He can read on his own or opt for lectures usually organized by course-mates..not the school.

@OP...walk into NOUN office in Wuse 2...close to GLO office and make ur inquiry.

lols
Where did Heritage bank see that kind money.
It's GTBank joor. I guess he approximated it to the nearest whole number, because I think they are paid 'bout 311k.

NOUN? I just don't trust that uni. Are they good?

uboma:


Why expose the MBA Coordinator on a public forum?

Also heard UBA pays more. Well Iv heard the Uni is trusted and accredited and all..

omomummy13:

You guyz dint state clearly if that figure is before deduction of upfront or after upfront payment.
An open university or a foreign online MBA will be ok for promotion.

You wan submit your CV?
Come into the the system and find out.

Kachisbarbie:

DrNeoCortex:
I was in your shoes exactly three years ago. Same bank, same position. The question you should ask yourself is "What is my long term career objective?" One thing is certain, GTBank does not care if you have a masters degree or not as long as you continue to deliver your yearly budget. Also, getting a random MBA (no-name) has a very marginal effect on your career prospects considering the pool of employable candidates in Nigeria. Finally, commercial banking in Nigeria (Operations or Marketing) requires very limited skills which are not easily transferrable to other industries. This is the reason why you will mostly see people change jobs within banking and not outside of banking.

One a second note with respect to your salary, it looks good now until you get married in Abuja and realise how significantly underpaid you are. As the last I heard of the bank, promotion is now very rare with a minimum of two years and not exactly certain year-on-year. So, at best you are looking at SBO in five-six years. Considering that you do not have a business background, the more time you spend in banking the more you box yourself to a corner and become unemployable.

My advise is that you should forget MBA for now and enroll in a professional course/certification (ACCA, CFA) asap, even if it kills you in the process.
