How You Can Build A Lucrative Career

In Nigeria With Business Education

Most of us are aware of the current state of education in Nigeria, which is severely suffering due to various political factors. However, the fact remains that the government and many non-government organisations are taking several steps to improve the present

scenario. I believe that there is a strong need for providing high quality business education as it will not only make our youths empowered but also enable them to acquire the right knowledge and skills to jumpstart their careers. But with a lack of reputed business schools across Africa, can you actually pursue quality business education in Nigeria? Let's find out...

Providing Quality Business Education

Although there are comparatively fewer B-schools in Nigeria than UK or the US, but most of the business schools here provide quality business training and education that are developed considering both the African economy and the global business scenario. As there is a lack of adequate employment opportunities in the nation, many experts believe that business education can empower Nigerian youths to become

entrepreneurs and create more jobs.

Supo Fawole, an experienced business consultant and the country head of Regenesys Business School , says “Learning about business and management with its many sub-disciplines that include marketing, strategy, finance, operations management, human resources and many more, requires a person to improve both in understanding what are best practices, but also being able to apply these to their environment.”

Impact Of Globalisation

The fact is Nigeria is increasingly becoming an integral part of the global economy. Fawole believes that “Globalisation is certainly real, and as Nigeria will increasingly participate in global capital markets, it will be exposed to fluctuations and global phenomena. We live in an increasingly interdependent world in which we must decide to lead or to be led by others.”

This is where the need for business education comes in. Nigerian B-schools can help our youths to prepare for facing the challenges of the global business world

and understand how to make the most of opportunities. You will learn about the core aspects of business and management and also develop a clear understanding about marketing, economics, finance, accounting, human resource and budgeting. This will enable you to understand how a business works and add value to the national economy.

Fawole adds “We constantly need to refresh our knowledge, gain new perspectives, explore growth strategies and design our entry into new markets.

Nigeria is changing and the progressive businesses know that they need to build skills. This is why you will find that most of the businesses in Nigeria that are growing are sending their senior executives to international

schools to learn and apply methods from other markets in Nigeria.” He continues “The real value that a business school can bring is that it links people to different approaches, best practices and provides a forum for people to network in a learning environment.”

The Best Way To Study Business

However, the fact remains that studying business in Nigeria can be a rather daunting task. Most B-schools and universities charge excessively high fees which can be real challenge for Nigerian youths as most of us are already fight poverty and unemployment. This is why most aspiring professionals entrepreneurs across Africa are now pursuing business education online.

Pursuing an online postgraduate diploma in management will allow you to study in a smarter, flexible and more affordable way. You can not only gain the necessary business skills and knowledge without emptying your bank account, but you can also choose to study while you work. Online business diploma courses enable you to study at your own pace right in a convenient manner. You will have the opportunity to study from your house, office or venue while you are on the go as all of the learning materials are available online.

The truth is more and more employers are now recognising and accepting online diplomas. Hence, a diploma in postgraduate management online will make you for a wide range of job opportunities not only in Nigeria, but on a global level.

The Bottom Line

So if you wish to build a thriving career and create a comfortable life for yourself and your family, then business education can help you gather the required skills and knowledge and help you get started on the right path.
