I have just been admitted on a self funded executive programme at Harvard Business School (Strategy and leadership).

I'm planning to relocate to Nigeria soon from Canada, but not sure how much value employers place on them? Still contemplating if it's value for money in the nigerian context.

Programme cost = $12,000.

can u be abit more clearer on wot u mean?

Pls dont come back to Nigeria except u Know God , Yar adua and VIP in d country

Asides this programme, what are your qualifications, and work experience?
In Nigeria, or any other country for that matter, this program, and whatever certificate is issued at the end of it, cannot justify any ROI you are expecting just on its own strength. Even where you are currently, I'm aware that's the situation as well.

Executive development programs are usually meant to be MCPD programs (mandatory continuing professional development), and are no substitute for the real thing. You still need a good degree at undergraduate or graduate level, and possibly some reasonable work experience. For graduate programs, such as MBAs, definitely there are opportunities.

Almost everyone in senior management at Nigerian banking industry is a grad of Havard's AMP! De wey naija people dey rush the tin tire me o.

Who knows? With a strong Harvard alumni network in Nigeria (this I know for sure), and your stint in Canada, you might be able to secure a good opportunity.

You just offloaded a ton of common sense!

Thanks for your response guys.

Correct. But one would have to expect extra value by attending one that cost as much as twice the cost of most.

Yes, I suppose this would be expected. I have two Masters degrees - an MBA and an MSc and worked for over 14 years in Technology
architecture and Risk Management.

Would be nice, unfortunately, the short programme by itself will not qualify one for the Alumni status
