TEACHING AND RESEARCH AT PAN-

ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY

Currently Pan-Atlantic University has three main units:

A graduate business school: Lagos Business School (LBS). It

started in 1991.

A unit which offers services and non-degree programmes

to small businesses: The Enterprise Development Centre

(EDC). It started in 2003.

A graduate school of media: The School of Media and

Communication (SMC). It started in 2008

The objective of education in our university is the well-

rounded formation of the human person. This is why every

programme includes several courses in the humanities. We

also seek, by deliberate design of the programmes, to

inculcate and groom the entrepreneurial spirit in our students

and participants. The university aims at nurturing individuals

who are professionally competent, creative and enterprising,

zealous for the common good and able to make free and

morally upright decisions and who thus act as positive agents

of change in service to society.

The founders of Pan-Atlantic University were inspired in

beginning this educational project by the teachings of the

founder of Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church.

Furthermore, the Prelature of Opus Dei provides the spiritual

and pastoral means necessary in order that the University may

maintain and develop its Christian identity. The Prelature of

Opus Dei helps to ensure that all teaching, publishing and

Communication (SMC).

research activities in PAU are inspired by the Christian view of

the person, the world and society.

LAGOS BUSINESS SCHOOL (LBS)

The Lagos Business School aims at providing experienced

professional managers with high quality general management

education relevant to the Nigerian business environment.

LBS offers a PhD in Management, full-time and executive MBA

programmes and a wide spectrum of open-enrolment

seminars on essential issues in business for business leaders

and managers. Customised in-company seminars are also

arranged for companies who need to train large groups of staff

in a particular area. Delivered in purpose-built learning

facilities, LBS programmes attract over 3,000 participants from

multinational and indigenous companies yearly. Executive

education at LBS is comprehensive, drawing from the

experience of faculty and participants. The system of teaching

privileges the case-study method and group-work approaches

to learning.

The School places a premium on maintaining a very keen

relationship with the corporate clientele it serves. Constant

interaction with participating organisations, a committed

corporate support group of 70 companies, plus counsel and

support rendered by the School's distinguished Advisory

Board play major roles in securing this linkage

SCHOOL OF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION (SMC)

The School of Media and Communication was instituted by

Pan-Atlantic University in recognition of the critical role of the

media and entertainment industries in shaping societal values

and cultural life. No less important, the contribution of the

creative industries to economic growth and the GDP is gaining

recognition as well.

Specifically, the establishment of the SMC is informed by the

aspiration to train professionals in this area of culture who will

uphold the highest intellectual, ethical and professional values

that promote creativity, critical knowledge, technical

perfection, social responsibility, and the spirit of enterprise.

The School's programmes prepare students for careers in the

creative industries, in business generally, and in various public

and private domains. The School offers M.Sc. and P.G.D.

programmes as well as non-degree programmes for

professionals.

ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT CENTRE (EDC)

The Enterprise Development Centre of Pan-Atlantic University

has the mission of providing holistic business development

and support services to small and medium enterprises (SMEs)

in Nigeria.

EDC provides capacity building programmes and a variety of

wrap-around services such as advisory services, mentoring,

experts-in-residence, network meetings, access to market &

information, implementation of organisational plans and

more.

EDC's mission is to build a network of entrepreneurial leaders

through a commitment to continuous learning, process

improvement and business integrity.

from the Vice-Chancellor

In writing my brief introduction to the 2012/13 Pan-Atlantic

University Annual Report the first theme that comes to my

mind is the progress we have made during this academic

session towards our targets of building a new campus for

the University, raising the necessary funds and starting

undergraduate programmes on that campus in October

2014. I am happy to report that we are on course to

accomplish these goals. You will find more information on

this in the report.

It has been my practice to use the introductions to the

annual reports of the University to highlight some aspects of

our work. In this year’s report I wish to draw your attention

to two areas of research in Pan-Atlantic University that are

both innovative and likely to have a high impact.

CIPRA is a centre of the Lagos Business School which

focuses on research in infrastructure development in Africa.

The Centre is led by Mr. Ernest Ndukwe. As part of its

research output, CIPRA publishes the State of Infrastructure

Reports Series. Each of these reports focuses on a specific

class of infrastructure assets such as roads,

telecommunications, water or sanitation. The two most

recent reports by CIPRA study Roads and Power. The reports

highlight the structural, administrative, policy, and fiscal

challenges hampering these critical infrastructure assets, in

addition to profiling their current physical state of health.

The reports also provide vital statistical data on the stock,

quality, location and regional distribution of these assets.

Building on a large basis of empirical evidence gathered

through actual fieldwork and geo-spatial surveys, the

reports also advocate feasible development options in order

to address the critical operational and institutional

challenges observed in these sectors.

Another interesting research project, in a very different field,

is The Media75 Project .The leader of this project is Mr.

Richard Ikiebe, a faculty member in our School of Media and

Communication.

Many media leaders who were active in the years before and

immediately after the nation’s independence have either

died or are in their twilight years. Those of them who played

pivotal roles have yet to document their experiences for

posterity and scholarship. As a result, the story of the media

in the formation of the Nigerian nation state has not been

sufficiently documented.

This project revolves around interviewing some of Nigeria’s

most remarkable living media leaders. Some of those that

have been interviewed already are: Dr. Patrick D. Cole, Dr.

Christopher Kolade, Mr. Sam Amuka, Mal. Mohammed

Haruna, Mr. Ray Ekpu, and Dr. Doyin Abiola, The edited

transcripts of these interviews already fill four large volumes.

The research is not limited to the older generation; younger

media leaders as well as media scholars of note have been

included. So far, more than 50 veterans have been

interviewed and there are at least 20 media leaders yet to be

interviewed. It is hoped that the product of this effort will

greatly aid media research and scholarship. By next year the

faculty members involved in this project will start publishing

papers and books that will aid further media scholarship,

improve students’ appreciation of media history and

stimulate appropriate forms of media leadership.

UNIVERSITY DEVELOPMENT

Change of NameOn the 24th of May, the University announced a change of its

name from Pan-African University to Pan-Atlantic University.

This was done to avoid it being confused by a recently created

Africa Union-owned educational institution called Pan-African

University. The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Juan Elegido announced

this at a press conference in the Victoria Island Campus of the

University on the 24th of May, 2013.

Undergraduate Programmes:The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved

the commencement of undergraduate programmes in Pan-

Atlantic University. The following programmes will commence

in the 2014/15 academic session.

A 4-year Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication

A 4-year Bachelor of Science in Accountancy

A 4-year Bachelor of Science in Business

Administration

You may visit for more www.pau.edu.ng/undergraduate

details or send an email enquiry to [email protected].

Update on the New CampusThe programmes highlighted above will be taught on our new

hundred hectare campus at Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State. Already,

construction of facilities (academic complex, hostels, students'

centre, maintenance facilities etc) is at an advanced stage.

EDC BuildingOn the campus at Ajah, the building of the Enterprise

Development Centre (EDC) is being developed. This three-

floor structure will accommodate the learning and

administrative requirements of the EDC. Already, the building

is 60% complete.

New Major AppointmentsThe following major appointments were made during the

course of the session:

1. Mrs. Rosemary Okolo - Registrar

2. Mr. Franklin Wiggle - Director University Development

3. Mr. Abiodun Olumide - Director, Physical Development

THE UNIVERSITY

Endowment Fund

In line with the practice of the best universities all over the

world, Pan-Atlantic University has created an endowment

fund. The fund is independently controlled by trustees. The

returns of the endowment will be used to fund scholarships

and research activities, while preserving the value of the

principal.

The endowment was created by putting together the class

gifts contributed during the last years by the graduands of

the different programmes of the University. Currently the

value of the endowment is N312m and it is the intention of

the University to try to grow this value over time in order to

ensure that PAU will be able to sustain a vigorous research

and grant scholarships to many deserving students.

University Convocation

The 9th Convocation ceremony took place on 1st December,

2012. During the ceremony, the first award of the PhD degree

by Pan-Atlantic University was made to Mrs. Yetunde Anibaba.

She was conferred a PhD in Management with specialisation

in Human Resource Management. The PhD in Management is

offered by Lagos Business School and was started in 2006 with

the aim of increasing research in the University and training

faculty for LBS and other universities. One hundred and nineteen (119) graduands were admitted to the Master of

Business Administration (MBA) degree, sixty-six to the Master

of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Media and Communication, six (6)

to the Master of Philosophy in management and sixteen to

postgraduate diplomas in media related fields making a total

of two hundred and eight (208) graduating students.

Financial Times RankingThe Financial Times ranking for 2013 has for the seventh

consecutive time placed Lagos Business School (LBS) with the

world's top business schools for open enrolment executive

education. Ranked 55th in the world (the second highest rank

from Africa), LBS is the only institution in West and Central

Africa included in the prestigious international ranking,

illustrating a commitment to providing management

education of world-class standard.

LBS Library

During the course of the session, the permanent library of

the Lagos Business School was completed. The Library

services at LBS have therefore moved to this 3-floor

structure adjacent to the MBA block.

Not By Chance: Memories of the Lagos Business

School

First Director General of Lagos Business School, Emeritus

Prof Albert Alos has released a new book about LBS. Titled,

“Not By Chance: Memories of the Lagos Business School”,

the book captures the fascinating history of LBS from its

humble beginnings to a world-class business school.

In 22 easy-to-read chapters, the book describes how LBS

progressed since it was founded in 1991.

Reseach Centres

Centre for Competitiveness and Strategy (CCS)

In 2012, a new research centre, the Centre for

Competitiveness and Strategy (CCS), was established in LBS.

It will function as a knowledge partner of the Lagos State

Government in the area of competitiveness to help provide

insight that will drive policy actions towards this goal. The

Centre, which is headed by LBS faculty Dr. Tunji Adegbesan,

also aims to become Africa's foremost knowledge hub for

information on competitiveness and strategy.

CIPRA Reports

The Centre for Infrastructure, Policy, Regulation and

Advancement (CIPRA), a centre of LBS, works with public

sector agencies, private organisations and partner

institutions to identify and address high-priority needs for

learning on Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and

infrastructure development.

As part of its research outputs, CIPRA publishes the State of

Infrastructure Reports Series to spotlight specific

infrastructure assets such as power, roads,

telecommunications, ports, water and sanitation, aviation,

irrigation, social infrastructure, etc. The two current reports

by CIPRA on Roads and Power, highlight structural,

administrative, policy, and fiscal challenges hampering these

critical infrastructure assets, in addition to profiling their

current physical state of health, the reports also provide vital

11LAGOS BUSINESS SCHOOL

statistical data on the stock, quality, location and actual,

regional distribution of these assets across the nation.

Building on the huge empirical evidence gathered through

actual fieldwork and geo-spatial surveys, the Reports also

advocate feasible development options to addressing critical

operational and institutional challenges observed in these

sectors. They will serve as handy, decision-support,

reference manuals to guide investment strategy and policy

directions in both private and public sectors.

New Programmes

International Management Programme

As part of plans to accelerate leadership development in

Africa, Lagos Business School began a new International

Management Programme (IMP) for leaders in Africa in July.

This new programme has been designed to help senior

executives develop competencies needed for effective

management in the different regions of Africa. The five-

month programme will be facilitated by renowned faculty

from Lagos Business School, University of Stellenbosch

Business School in Cape Town, South Africa, Antai College of

Economics and Management in Shanghai, China and other

reputable institutions.

agreements with educational and industrial partners:

1. Lagos Business School has signed a memorandum of

understanding with the Lagos State Government (LASG)

Africa. The MOU was signed on Monday, 18 January

2013 by Dean of LBS, Dr Enase Okonedo and the

Governor of Lagos State Babatunde Raji Fashola at the

governor's office. The agreement was entered into as

result of both parties recognising the need to drive the

competitiveness of Lagos. According to Dr Okonedo,

there has been an awakened interest in Africa for big

businesses, so it becomes imperative to make Lagos

attractive for investment and safe for the people who

live in it. In his remarks, Governor Fashola said his

government was willing to open up to LBS for research

in order to develop policies that were useful to the

people.

2. On Thursday, 1 November 2012, the Centre for

Infrastructure, Policy, Regulation and Advancement

(CIPRA) at Lagos Business School, and the

Impact Investing by LBS MBA Students

MBA students of Lagos Business School are leaving nothing

to chance in promoting entrepreneurial investments that

create social impact and add value. The students are

touching lives through an impact investing project of the

School, which allocates a loan of N5,000 to a business idea,

with a requirement to make N5,000 weekly profits for 12

weeks.

The impact investing project was introduced as part of an

entrepreneurship course, to nurture the ideals of making a

social impact while making profit in a business. A panel

discussion took place to evaluate the most successful

businesses. One of the criteria was that each idea must have

an associated social impact.

Second-year MBA student, Gbemileke Otun recently gave

out food and books to 500 pupils of Ogombo Primary

School in Ogombo village, in Lagos. Gbemileke owns 10 for

10 Accessories, an outfit that sells ladies' accessories with a

supporting commitment to ameliorate hunger and

malnutrition in children, from its profit. “For every N10,000

sale we make, we feed 10 Nigerian children”, she explained.

Similar to this project is “Feed a Mouth” conceived by three

second-year MBA students – Oke Olatunji, Onasoga

Omololu and Sanni Bolarinwa. Their idea is to provide a

decent breakfast to fellow students who don't have time to

eat something before leaving home.

Two more second-year MBA students – Omolayo Fashanu

and Damilola Okeleye – with their ICT Development

Initiative are set to provide free refurbished computers for

secondary school students in June.

prepare them for leadership. He urged the MBA students of

Lagos Business School (LBS) not to abandon politics, noting

that their professional experience would impact Nigeria's

political landscape.

Senator Amosun, who identified leadership as the biggest

problem in Nigeria, said leaving governance in the hands of

untrained people will impede national development. He

spoke on the topic: “A voyage powered by conviction” where

he recounted his childhood story and a series of lessons he

has learnt in life.

The Media75 Project - 75 Years (1935-2010) of

Media Leadership in Nigeria

The story of the media in the formation of the Nigerian

nation state has not been sufficiently documented by media

scholars and practitioners alike. The Media75Years project is

a primary research into the role of journalism and media

leadership in shaping the history of the modern Nigerian

nation-state against the backdrop of professionalism,

politics (including intra- and inter-media politics), ethnicity,

management and the business of media. It is hoped that

the product of this effort will greatly aid media research and

scholarship.

This project will cover the project from 1935 till 2010. The

research revolves around interviewing some of Nigeria's

most remarkable living media leaders. Some of those that

we have already interviewed are: Pa Laban Namme, Prince

Henry Odukomaiya, Dr. Patrick D. Cole, Dr. Christopher

Kolade, Mr. Sam Amuka-Pemu, Chief Ajibola Ogunsola, Mal.

Mohammed Haruna, Mr. Felix Adenaike, Engr. Vincent

Maduka, Mrs. Agbeke Ogunsanwo, Mr. Dan Agbese, Dr.

Victoria Ezeokoli, Mr. Lade Bonuola, Mr. Ray Ekpu, Dr. Doyin

Abiola, Hajia Bilikisu Yussuf, Femi Kusa, Mr. Emeka Izeze,

Prince Nduka Obaigbena, and Chief Taiwo Allimi.

The research is not limited to the older generation; younger

media leaders as well as media scholars of note have been

included. There is also a section dedicated to dead media

leaders. So far, more than 50 veterans have been

interviewed, and at least another 20 media leaders are yet

to be interviewed.
