OPPORTUNITY: AABS launches Agribusiness Management Programmes in Nigeria

The  Agribusiness Consortium (AAC) was recently established (sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) by the Association of African Business Schools (AABS) to design, develop and deliver Agribusiness Management training programmes for Africa’s agricultural sector.  

The AAC has been hard at work on programme design and curriculum development for the pilot programmes to be rolled out in Ghana, Tanzania and Nigeria starting September 2013. The project has made good progress and presents an amazing opportunity for academic institutions and agribusiness practitioners and industry experts from all over Africa to collaborate on skills development solutions  relevant to the needs of the Agricultural sector so critical to Africa’s future; the cross pollination of ideas and perspectives is yielding invaluable output for our vision and goals.

The AABS is hosting launch event in Nigeria as one of 3 pilot countries (Nigeria, Tanzania and Ghana) to introduce the programme to the market and launch the application process for the 2013 programmes.  

Nigeria Launch – May 7^th, Lagos Business School KM 22 Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ajah-Lagos.   Time: 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
