To promote qualitative research and management studies across Africa, Lagos Business School, in partnership with the GAMSU Foundation has unveiled the Gamaliel and Susan International Management Research Centre.

The state of the art facility, valued at over N1bn was funded by the GAMSU Foundation, alongside other donors, geared towards improving the standard of education in the country.

Executive governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin, said the centre represents the impact the late Gamaliel Onosode had on management.

He said, “The Lagos Business School, through this state-of-the-art research centre, will expand its commitment to contributing significantly to the intellectual work that will shape the future of Africa and impact our developmental strides.”

Sanwo-Olu expressed optimism while noting that research is the bedrock upon which development is built, and  that the centre represents another giant leap to advancing knowledge that is uniquely relevant.

Dean, Lagos Business School, Prof. Chris Ogbeche, thanked the foundation for their munificence in funding the erection of the building which cost well over N1bn to construct.

He said the centre would become a vibrant hub for cutting edge research which will enable the institution to positively impact society.
