Alumni Leadership and University Excellence in Africa

Beschreibung

‘This is a book that I strongly recommend to all those who wish to attain an in-depth practical understanding of how to start, structure and govern alumni associations of all kinds.’

—Juan Elegido, Vice Chancellor and Professor, Pan-Atlantic University

 ‘Borne out of practical experience, this is a well thought-out book for educational institutions looking to establish a lasting legacy through the formation of a viral and strong alumni association.’

 Focusing on Lagos Business School (LBS) in Nigeria, this book explores the impact of strong alumni leadership on university excellence in Africa. Strong leadership is crucial to the success of educational institutions and great importance is placed on their effective governance and management. However, many institutions fail to realise the positive impact that a strongalumni body can have on university excellence. Drawing on definitions and theories of leadership, the author seeks to establish the significance of alumni in enhancing a university’s growth and development. Providing comprehensive analysis of LBS, this book is a unique resource for leaders of educational institutions, as well as those studying and teaching in African business schools.

“Alumni Leadership and University Excellence in Africa: The Case of Lagos Business School is a book that I strongly recommend to all those who wish to attain an in-depth practical understanding of how to start, structure and govern alumni associations of all kinds. Henry Onukwuba deserves to be congratulated for the first-class job he has done in writing this book. The book is a very rich learning resource for alumni officers, based both on a good knowledge of international and African best practices and the rich personal experience of the author.” (Juan Elegido, Professor and Vice Chancellor, Pan-Atlantic University)

“A well thought-out book for educational institutions looking to establish a lasting legacy through the formation of a viral and strong alumni association. Henry Onukwuba has done a good job in elucidating the impact and importance of establishing such an institution. As a past Alumni President of the Lagos Business School, I saw Henry display strong leadership skills by maintaining a good balance between the university and the 6,000 strong alumni association. This book is borne out of practical experience and I recommend it to all alumni officers and associations, as well as institutions looking to gain insight in setting up and administering an association of International repute.” (Wole Oshin, Group Managing Director, Custodian & Allied Plc and Past President, Lagos Business School Alumni Association)
