Certificates obtained outside Nigeria will continue to be more valued and considered over those obtained in the country due to some factors, the United Kingdom-based Metropolitan School of Business and Management, has said.

Among the reasons adduced for the value placed on foreign certificates by the institution include “use of dynamic and relevant practice-based approaches” and the combination of corporate experience with “interactive teaching methodology with live case studies”.


The Assistant Country Director of MSBM (Nigeria), Mosisiye Kayode, stated this in Abuja during the Enterprise 101 workshop organised for business managers, young professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs.


She said, “We have affiliations with schools in the UK but anyone participating in our school in Abuja has worked, studied and lived in the UK at a particular time because you cannot give what you do not have. So anyone who is going to teach in our class is someone who has studied, worked and lived in the UK .

“If you have a certificate from the UK, it is more appreciated because they know that we don’t just give you the teaching, we give you the real life scenario.

“Enterprise 101 has always been a vision of ours; we have actually been looking forward to bringing in people and entrepreneurs in Abuja to come around because most of them have things they will want to share with other young people just for young aspiring entrepreneurs to actually gain from.”

A civil servant and one of the participants, Chukwugozim Melekwe, said that regardless of his exposure to business from an early age and a successful job, the workshop was a platform to further learn and network to broaden his scope in business.

He said, “Even though I have some sort of safety net by working right now, it has always been a part of me to make things happen. We need knowledge to be successful. As a professional and aspiring business person, there are questions that I need answers for, there are things I need to know.”

Another participant, Yinka Lanre, said that businesses in Abuja were recording turnovers in billions.

He explained that MSBM is a UK institution that had come into Nigeria to bring cutting edge innovations to ensure strategic ideas that could be applied to businesses to attain more profit.

TINALETC3:

This is exactly what this post needs.

All this story too long jae....just simply put "...because they are given by useless worthless schools"
that'd be a better explanation...

Summary : Nigerian certificate loose value cos our Presido is an Illiterate (dullardino).

ANYTHING THAT is ASSOCIATED WITH THE NAME NIGERIA IS BOUND FOR FAILURE 100%,BEFORE U SUFFERING AND SMILING little thinking Nigerians quote me give me anything done in the name of Nigeria since 1960 that was and still successful till date?? ofcourse NON. My father's Nigeria was better than mine and the way things are going am scared my children may say so too, so the only option for me is to support BIA.RA
#noban#truth

Don't mind them jare, even for that U.K. dem get plenty useless schools that just know how to collect money eg London Metropolitan, Cardiff Metropolitan etc

How can certificate have value in this country?

Plsz when student graduate let them start giving them 'connection' not certificate....that thing is Pali

Let the truth be said, its not about the certificate, its about the mode and quality of teaching. If u have not been there, u definitely cannot understand their point of view. Our Lecturers and teachers have failed us because they only sit in a class and use the same teaching materials for several years without updating their syllabus. They have failed to realize that world keeps evolving everyday and things become obsolete if u dont move with it. They still use textbooks (especially science and technology) that are published 20-30 years ago without upgrading. i am pretty sure some lecturers still go about teaching FOTRAN and COBOL or history of computers when they should be teaching Java, SQL, d-base, A+, Networking etc. I became so disheartened when i saw graduate engineers enrolling for vocational courses related their their course, when all u needed in life ought to have been taught in the University. The only professional courses (practicable courses) available in Nigeria are just 3, accounting, law and medicine every other course aside these in the Uni are in a "one chance bus" cos what they teach is abstract (theories) that are not practicable when u graduate. In case u are reading this and u are in the Uni, whatever ur course is that is not related to the above 3, kindly start learning a trade now or vocational course in order not to add to the over-saturated labour market.

Simply put, nigerian schools are useless.

When are we going to start promoting our education, culture and language like China, Italy and France? When are we going to stop relegating our education, culture and language to the background? So one must study in UK now to be relevant in Nigeria? Nigeria and africa who has done this to you.

Pure lies to gain more patronage. Our schools teaches us great sense n thats why we can outsmart them, we are the best all over the world be it science, accademic even crime

How will our certificates not lose value when we still have profs teaching us with lecture notes of the 90's?

Expecting us to write verbatim their lecture notes in the exams?

No case studies and real life scenarios of applied knowledge.

Indeed, we are valueless

ArcFresky:

No maa.

If our president can leave Nigeria for the UK to get treatment why should ordinary citizens not go there for education?
Buhari banned government officials from going abroad for treatment.
He budgeted more for Aso Rock clinic than all teaching hospitals combined.
Yet he claims to be fighting corruption.
Which sensible Nigerian would believe such rubbish, hypocritical lies?

Obsolete teaching techniques driving Nigeria certificate backwards.

Some graduate can not pronounce certificate. I still hear cerfiticate

Oya com n force me into the UK then. I may not go @first but will consider it if u insist
