Abuja Graduate School (AGS) was established in 2008, in line with Nigeria’s declared intent and commitment to become a global player, a member of the United Nations Security Council, and one of the 20 most developed economies of the world by the year 2020. Recognizing the serious gap in knowledge and skills of our people, it became obvious that this vision cannot be achieved
without an urgent commitment to training and capacity building of the workforce who will be driving the envisaged emergent world power. Therefore, AGS has accepted the challenge to champion the development and provision of internationally recognized accredited programmes that will catalyze the achievement of the stated national development objectives.
AGS has a vision to become globally respected as a model business and management school producing outstanding professionals who set the agenda for change in the knowledge economy of the African nations.
The AGS team has a mission to inculcate distinctive, pragmatic, universally sound business, leadership and management principles in our students, clients, decision and policy makers, to enable them compete effectively and successfully in the ever changing global environment.
