PHILOSOPHY

Nigeria is endowed with vast human and natural resources, but one of the problems plaguing its development is the proper harnessing and management of these resources for the common good. This problem has become more pronounced with the introduction of Information and Communication Technology as a major management tool which has revolutionised the way business is transacted and reduced the world into a global village. Nigeria needs to build its human capacity to respond to the challenges of the information age if it hopes to be a player in the information and management revolution of the 21st century. The School of Management and Information Technology was established to address this area of critical need in our national socio-economic development. The School is unique in its orientation and in the courses it offers. It is the first Management School in the country to offer a degree programme in Information and Communication Technology. It is also the only management school in the country that prepares its students for the challenges of the Information and Communication age by building into its Economics, Accountancy, Banking and Finance and Management programmes fifty percent information technology – based content.

The main objective of the School is to train highly skilled Economists, Accountants, Banking and Finance, Management and Information Technology experts who will occupy important positions in public and private sector organisations and function effectively and efficiently in the knowledge – based and Information Technology-driven economy of the 21st Century.
