Nobody goes there to learn anything. People go there to network and increase their chances of getting bigger jobs. Some of the world's richest people meet and network at Harvard MBA programs.

Also, there are jobs you can never get unless you have an MBA or MSc. For instance, country directors (CDs) of all these NGOs in Nigeria paying their CDs in USD. Suffer no dey tire you? 😀😀😀
if you don't have work experience, you think you can get that USD job? MBA is not really for job search but for those already in business or managerial positions. I will suggest u use that time and learn ICT.

The question should be the best not minding the cost.
Someone should kindly suggest the best MBA School in Nigeria.
I prefer online program.
Thanks
Since you don't mind the cost, and you prefer a distance learning/blended program, you can consider the following schools:

Government Universities
ABU
UNN
NOUN
Uniport

Private Universities
Lagos Business School
Nile University
Iconic Open University
Babcock University

(Note, other quality schools that may not have been mentioned also run DLC programs).

Having observed all the schools listed above, ABU and NOUN arguably has one of the the most developed, distance learning system not only in Nigeria, but in Africa.

ICONIC OPEN UNIVERSITY is the very best in MBA. The lowest price you can get and their curriculum is top notch.

Check out Thomas Adewumi University, Oko in Kwara State. Their MBA is 500k

Hello everyone, hope you're doing well.

I’m exploring options for doing my MBA and want to know which private university in Nigeria offers the most affordable program.

I’ve been checking names like Oduduwa, Paul, Caritas, Al-Hikmah, and Crawford… their undergraduate tuition fees seem low (around ₦100k–₦300k). But I’m not sure about MBA costs.

So:

1. Which private university has the cheapest MBA?


2. What’s the current tuition fee?


3. Any payment options like instalments?



Would really appreciate feedback from anyone with insider info or experience!

But I learnt they indicate DLC (Distance Learning Centre) on their certificate. In what way are they better?
Stop coming to the Internet to lie. Do your research before you make bold claims or hearsays.

You can't learn to build a business from a university. Business school is a scam. Even if it's Harvard. You learn how to build a business through trial, error and talking to other people in the field and learning from their success and failures.
MBA is not for buying and selling okiirka business.

No schools offer a better MBA than Miva Open University. Highly flexible and innovative. It's based on the latest learning Management System been used by great Ivy League institutions of higher learning.

I am running one presently with them. You can't regret it.

https://mba.miva.university/master-of-business-administration/

Duration: 18Months

Fees/Semester: N285, 000/Installmentally possible

That's the best and no equal.....
This fee is just per semester now.

The entire fee for the whole program is N950,000.

That is alot of money.

I won't encourage anyone to spend such amount of money for a program in Nigeria which will not yield tangible dividend.

Why do you need a business school for that? 2 or 3 decent business books will cover that

Nice one. They are also doing quite well, just that it's somehow expensive. Which program is she currently running?

Their PhD (applied) and DBA are also run online so I heard?
