Business School Netherlands - Nigeria
The first quarter of 2010 has been one of creating a strong thrust and stronger Business School Netherlands messages than ever by the BSN Nigeria team. The passionate guidance and mission directed leadership of Mr. Lere Baale (CEO of BSN Nigeria) has resulted in three important events on 20 and 22 March 2010.
Business School Netherlands - Nigeria invited Mrs. Juanita Bouwer (Head; English Programmes and BSN Nigeria director), Mrs. Yvette Baker (Finance and Registry Administrator) and Prof. Strydom (Director of Business School Netherlands and BSN Nigeria) to Nigeria for these days.
This event was the start of the twenty sixth (18 sets in OTA and 8 sets in Abuja) Executive MBA set of BSN Nigeria (Ota 18) at the study centre near Lagos in Ota, Ogun State. This group of 23 students were inducted by Mr. Baale himself with assistance of the two Lagos based set advisors, Dr. Ayotunde Adebyo and Mr. Ahmed Badatunde Popoola. The hot prospect list from which this set was formed was a good 37 at the time of the writing this report. The writer, Prof. Pierre Strydom, addressed the set on Saturday morning with an address titled: “a Master is more than a Manager”.
On Saturday afternoon the board of directors of BSN Nigeria met as per the schedule. It was a good opportunity to discuss the important matters and issues on the agenda and listen to the presentation of the CEO on his and his team’s plans and forecasts for 2010 and beyond. With Ms. Juanita Bouwer also present the board was complete in this meeting. (The board of BSN Nigeria consists of Mr. Ayodele Aderinwale – chairman, Dr. Olumide Ajayi, Mr. Lere Baale, Ms. Juanita Bouwer and Prof. Pierre Strydom.) Advice was given, ideas and visions were shared and actions documented to make BSN Nigeria more visible and grow the company even stronger.
