In 1996,
Lagos Business School applied to be raised to the status
of a private university. On the 12th of February 2002,
the Honourable Minister of Education presented the African
Development Foundation (a Nigerian non-governmental,
not-for-profit organization and owners of the Pan-African
University) with the operating licence for Pan-African
University. The university focuses on postgraduate degree
programmes in Business Administration and Economics,
with LBS becoming the first school of the university.

The first academic programme of PAU was the Executive
MBA (2002), which was followed by the Full-Time MBA
(2003). Subsequently there will be the DBA (Doctorate
in Business Administration) and possibly postgraduate
degrees in economics from the university's School
of Economics, once that is established.
Pan-African University's mission, like that of the
Lagos Business School, is to develop competent and
socially responsible managers to lead sustained development
in Nigeria and Africa.
The Pan-African University thus has the following
as her objectives:
-
To encourage the advancement
of learning and research, and to provide courses
of instruction for the pursuit of learning in all
its schools or faculties.
-
To create a learning environment
for purposes of impacting positively on the society.
-
To nurture individuals who are
professionally competent, creative and enterprising,
zealous for the common good and able to make free
and morally upright decisions and who thus act as
positive agents of change in service to society.
PAU contributes to national development by providing
academic programmes that are relevant to Nigeria's
needs and the university works in close alliance with
the business community to ensure this.
Pan-African University is non-denominational in character
and is open to all people regardless of their nationality,
race, sex, religion or ethnic group. It nurtures individuals
who are professionally competent, creative and enterprising,
zealous for the common good, and able to make free
and morally upright decisions. These people thereafter
act as positive agents of change in service to society.
