“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” Nelson Mandela.<\/em><\/h2>\nI am a Corporate Banker with over sixteen years\u2019 experience spanning across corporate banking, eBusiness, foreign funds transfer and customer services.<\/p>\n

What attracted you to the Kent MBA programme and why? <\/strong><\/p>\nI liked the pedigree of the University of Kent as an institution of academic excellence, evidenced by its Gold Award in the UK Government\u2019s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) – which is only awarded to institutions that consistently deliver exceptional teaching, learning and outcomes for students.<\/p>\n
What were your motivations for undertaking an MBA?<\/strong><\/p>\nI decided to pursue an MBA at Kent Business School to learn more about the world of Business and deepen my strategic thinking, business management and financial analysis skills.<\/p>\n
Aspiration<\/strong><\/p>\nAttending KBS with its focus on research-based learning and quantitative training would not only allow me to utilise the skills and knowledge I have garnered in my Nigerian banking career, but would also expand this foundation to better prepare me to positively impact my personal business and career trajectory.<\/p>\n
Advice<\/strong><\/p>\nYou do not need to make costly mistakes before becoming a champion. Take a short cut by learning from the mistakes of others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
