how true is the info??

BenKafor:


Thanks. I showed my brother this thread, he's been wanting to do masters for a while now but keeps saying he won't have the time. The online MBA will really help him.

JanethEze:


It's very True. Check out their website

Are you kidding me right now or you are being serious?

noblealuu:
please forumites, can someone brief me about the number of electives required in a semester?

i'm from a science background and i'm preparing to enroll in this MBA PROGRAM.

How many foundation courses are to be taken per semester?
Finally, when is the deadline for the purchase of Registration form?

note: I have read through the website but it seems my enquiries are hazy on the website.

thanks in anticipation for a swift response.

It is laughable that NUC barely after one year of publishing that online education and degrees are not acceptable in Nigeria, the same NUC went ahead and approved an online MBA at ABU Zaria.

It is the same moribund, old and non-IT-savvy professors of NUC (without any knowledge of technology disruptions) who has consistently frustrated the efforts of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). If not that Obasanjo understands the meaning of Grand Commander of Federal Republic (GCFR) who used his powers to make sure that the NOUN stands with all the legal and parliamentary backings. What is even more worrisome now is that these same professors have engineered all paraphernalia of the education sector to hinder NOUN graduates in the the Law programme to prevent them from going Law School in Nigeria. I know that in the UK & US, you can become a lawyer either by conventional route (educational) or vocational (practice-oriented) route.

But one thing is sure, technology will continue to change everything about our life, from education to healthcare, mobility (transportation), telecommunication, etc. The earlier Nigeria & Nigerian system understands this the better for this country.

Since Nigeria like to copy other countries, I will beg Nigeria, when copying, we should copy correctly. The UK that we copied almost everything we have lived by as a nation has left behind and we are wallowing in intellectual penury. The UK Open University Business School has a very high triple crown accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA) [http://business-school.open.ac.uk/executive-education] which is the highest level of accreditation for a Business School anywhere in the world. It is only Lagos Business School that has attained almost half of such international accreditation. What this means, is that Lagos Business School graduates can comfortably compete globally with other graduates from schools with such international accreditation. Meanwhile, the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is been suppressed not to see the light of the day by the stupid professors at NUC. No other school in Nigeria has such international accreditation, even the almighty and highly revered UI, Unilag, UNN, and other first generation Universities in Nigeria.

There is so much deficit in the education space, hence we need more IT-driven Online Distance Learning undergraduate and graduate programmes in Nigeria Universities. Countries like India understood the importance IT-driven education and are making good use of it to make for the country's education deficit.

Everybody is commenting that they interested in the online MBA from ABU Zaria because NUC approved it. In the working world, it is acceptable to have online degree, in fact, it is an extra edge if you can combine working and studying in so far as the school is accredited. Nigerians are busy doing online programmes that are accredited and companies recognize it, so ABU Zaria, your Online MBA is a very welcomed development but it came very late because the myopic policy makers don't think beyond today.

Hence, if NUC has woken up from their slumber and discovered lately that Education & IT are like Bread & Butter, then it is a good day for Nigerian education system. We need to begin investing in the IT Usage in Education. I will not forget the encounter I had with one of the Nigerian University's Professor; "a Professor of a Nigerian University do not know how to type plus-minus (±) in MS Word for a Research Paper he is typing".

A journey of one thousand miles begins with a step.

God bless Nigeria!!!

I think you can give them a call on 0808 052 3171 or 01-7000899 because you need a swift response.

noblealuu:


Thanks Rose. I actually called them several times to no avail especially the land line. they wouldn't pick the call.

GNwafor:


In as much as I have nothing against the Nigerian system, not picking your calls goes to show the level of unhealthy student support system. So when you finally enroll into the program, how then will they support you to make your study experience worthwhile and for you to have value for the school fees you will pay.

In this 21st century there is a great shift towards customer satisfaction be it in the hospitals, schools, shopping malls, etc. And all these culminate into the support system of this various institutions.

ChidinmaRose:


What's their website?

It's very annoying, i know. I hate when they don't take custumer service seriously. I called them just now to ask for a friend and they picked. They also mentioned that they were having network issues last week.
