Our Mission is to become a foremost provider of business and entrepreneurship guidance to the increasing number of people with a drive for more than their current existence.

MBS was founded under divine inspiration by a consortium of professionals with a common vision simply geared towards taking the society in which we belong, to a functional one in which things work. It is our believe that our emphasis on functionality and practicality will translate to a better society and the world at large by reducing unemployment, poverty, hunger and other stressors and enable individuals to maximize his or her potentials, ditto organizations.  We hope to achieve this through application of knowledge and practical demonstration of best practices in a sustainable manner.

To execute the vision satisfactorily and make the desired great impact, we have assembled the right people, as administrators and tested, trusted, experienced and well exposed faculty consisting of great academicians, industrialists, bankers, accountants and other professionals from all sectors and industries, including the private, public sectors and MSMEs. It is equally important to note that our faculty spreads across the world, this is deliberate in order for us to think and act globally while at the same time applying the knowledge gained to our immediate environment. We are also currently aggressively working on strategic partnerships and collaborations with existing business schools across the globe so that we can expose our students and executives to sound broad based up to date knowledge in their chosen endeavours.

At MBS there is a maxim that guides us; Society makes average minds but GREAT minds CREATE the society. We are here to cultivate GREAT minds so that we can invariably build a better society where things work so that individuals can reach their maximum potentials.

The board consists of tested and trusted technocrats, industrialists, academicians, bankers, accountants, architects, tax practitioners, and indeed various leading professionals from all sectors of the economy including public, and private sectors and the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs.

Some of the notable board and faculty members are:

The school was birthed as a result of the vision of the founders who saw a huge gap in the way the current business education runs in Nigeria and the way it should actually run, in order to really make a difference, transform the lives of people especially the young minds by refocusing them from being dependent on paid employment which is becoming very hard to find, to being a self-reliant and independent entrepreneur and job creators. This truly aligns with the vision of the Lagos State Government as one of the strategies to reduce unemployment and thereby curb social vices significantly simply by getting unemployed youth off the streets and showing them the way to add value to their lives.

A team was therefore recruited to assist in realizing this vision of the founder, consisting of people of like minds, from different academic and professional backgrounds, well-tested and exposed to the world of entrepreneurship, business, and management. They also include people who have worked with youths in different capacities and thus understand their needs and would be able to contribute to the development of appropriate programs to meet such needs.

Without an appropriate structure to back up a vision, the vision may not be properly realized. The initial step was thus taken to register the school with both the Lagos State Government and the Federal Government through the Corporate Affairs Commission CAC. This was done as far back as February 2012. Since that time, there have been consistent efforts to ensure the vision was not derailed; another major milestone was thus recorded when our efforts to get the school properly registered and recognized by the Lagos State Government started getting the necessary attention and encouragement from the Lagos State Ministry of Education. This approval was eventually obtained in 2021. With this approval, Marina Business School certificates are recognized all over the world. We have thus put in place the necessary people, processes, systems, technologies, and faculty to ensure that our academic and executive programs justify the recognition and approval and compete favorably with those of other existing business schools in Nigeria and internationally.

Market Gaps

Our courses are specifically designed to address perceived gaps in the business sector to make you more employable. We noticed that in line with the current market realities, many of the traditional courses being offered by institutions can no longer stand the test of time. The pandemic has also brought up a lot of issues and challenges to our educational system, mostly of technological nature which has necessitated the upgrade of curriculum globally. This is reflected in all our courses and in our approach to teaching and capacity building generally.

We also emphasize a practical approach to learning. This is done by exposing our students to relevant industrial training with our partner organizations among others. In addition, we offer unique pathway options in your career growth by allowing you to further specialize in your chosen field.
