Lagos Business School

Abstract

Onukwuba discusses Lagos Business School (LBS), Pan-Atlantic University-its history, mission and philosophy. The chapter traces the initial years of the School, from its days as the Centre for Professional Communication, and the strong early support it got from distinguished Nigerians and non-Nigerians who made up its pioneer Advisory Board. Onukwuba identifies the Christian identity of the School as a factor that has shaped its missional imperatives and strong ethical principles. The chapter discusses the executive programmes at LBS from inception and how these programmes have progressed over the years. Onukwuba examines the factors behind the School's rapid growth, leading to its becoming the first institution in West Africa to receive double international accreditations in 2016.
