PASSING THE BATON

2009 witnessed three very significant transitions in the

University's administration. In March 2009, Chief Olu

Akinkugbe CON, at the end of his tenure as Pro-

Chancellor and Chairman of Governing Council of Pan-

African University, resigned his appointment.

In his place the Board of Trustees of African

Development Foundation (ADF) – which owns Pan-

African University – appointed Dr. Christopher Kolade

CON as the new Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of

Governing Council.

Prof. Elegido has now become the second Vice-

Chancellor of Pan-African University. The new Vice-

Chancellor is also a professor of Business Ethics at the

Lagos Business School, the graduate business school of

the University. He has a doctorate in Law from the

Universidad de Navarra (Spain). He was one of the

foundation members of staff of the Lagos Business

School in 1991 and served as Dean of the LBS from

2005 to 2009.

In February 2009, Prof. Pat Utomi resigned from the

Governing Council and Dr. Enase Okonedo was

appointed to the Governing Council in May 2009. There

were also two new appointments to the University

Management Council – that of Dr. Okonedo in July 2009 In June 2009, the Dean of the Lagos Business School and Mr. Chidi Awagu in November 2009.(LBS), Prof. Juan Manuel Elegido became the Deputy

Vice-Chancellor. In his place, another long time

member of the LBS staff, Dr. Enase Okonedo became

the Dean of LBS.

On the 31st of December 2009, Prof. Albert Alos

resigned his appointment as Vice-Chancellor. His

voluntary resignation was accepted by the Board of

Trustees of ADF. Prof. Alos' leadership had spanned 17

years first as the Director-General of Lagos Business

School, then as Dean of the School and finally as Vice-

Chancellor of the University.

INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The University has now created a Department of

University Development. This unit will be responsible

for the major fundraising efforts of the University. The

department is headed by Mr. Gabriel Diejomaoh who

was named director. Prior to his appointment, Mr.

LAUNCH OF NEW CENTRE

A new centre at Lagos Business School focusing on the

research and teaching of corporate social responsibility

(CSR), corporate governance, work-family balance,

business ethics and other issues related to CSR was

launched on 14th April, 2010. The take-off of the Centre

is being made possible by a five year grant from Etisalat

Nigeria Ltd. This is an important opportunity for LBS to

strengthen its research and teaching in fields allied to

CSR, areas in which it is already well known for its

research and teaching. The centre to be known as the

Etisalat Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility is

headed by its Director, Mr. Chris Ogbechie, a member

of the LBS faculty.

will attend the SSM. It started in September 2009 and Venture in Enterprise & Management Programme has graduated 60 participants since then. (VIEMP)

This is a one week programme aimed at exposing

National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members to

entrepreneurship, management, values and corporate

social responsibility. EDS collaborated with Junior

Achievement of Nigeria (JAN), Chevron and Accenture

Nigeria to bring the VIEMP to NYSC members during the

session. A hundred Nigerian graduates from different

disciplines (Engineering, Medicine, Management, etc)

were selected. The importance of the programme lies

in the fact that the Corp members were at the

crossroad of making career decision.

Essential Management Skills (EMS)

This is a 14-day course (spread over 4 months) designed

to improve the effectiveness of line managers and team

leaders in small and medium scale enterprises. The

programme is modular and is structured to enable

participants the choice of modules they consider

important for their functional needs. EMS was

designed using largely the Business Edge methodology

(by International Finance Corporation) and it focuses

on four key areas: Effective Sales Management;

Customer Service Management; Personal Productivity

and Financial & Operations Management. A highly

participant-centred programme, EMS has been

delivered to about 96 participants during the period.

The Certificate in Entrepreneurial Management (CEM)

was the first, and has remained the main capacity

building programme for entrepreneurs offered by the

EDS. The programme designed with the assistance of

the Global Business School Network (GBSN) - an

initiative of the International Finance Corporation (IFC)

has graduated 400 participants as at August 2010. In

2009, EDS commissioned an impact study of the CEM

programme on its participants.

About 50% of CEM graduates participated in the survey

which was carried out by an independent consultant.

The study revealed a number of increases in relevant

key performance indicators (KPIs) such as turnover,

profitability and assets amongst others.
