Where Vision Becomes Enterprise
Welcome to the Department of Business Administration, the founding department of what is now the Faculty of Management Sciences at the University of Lagos, tracing its roots to the establishment of the Faculty of Business Administration in 1973. Our department has a rich history of academic excellence in shaping business leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers across Nigeria.
Rooted in the traditions of modern management education, our curriculum spans strategic management, marketing, organizational behaviour, and entrepreneurship. From foundational courses in management principles to advanced seminars in strategic decision-making, our programmes — including one of Nigeria’s pioneering MBA programmes, running since the 1973/74 session — provide students with the tools to lead in dynamic business environments.
Our esteemed faculty bring a wealth of academic and industry expertise, inspiring students to think critically about business challenges, embrace innovation, and lead with purpose. Our graduates go on to hold leadership positions across multinational corporations, financial institutions, and entrepreneurial ventures.
We invite you to join us on a journey of discovery and leadership development in the dynamic world of business administration.
