Professor Albert Alos
Endowed Chair
in Strategic Management
Honour the enduring legacy of Professor Albert Alos by investing in world-class research, faculty excellence, and the development of the next generation of African business leaders.
About the Endowed Chair
An endowment fund provides a permanent financial foundation, the returns of which sustain an institution's mission year after year. For a business school of global ambition, it is not a luxury but a strategic imperative. It enables institutions to look beyond the immediate and invest deliberately in enduring impact.
Why an Endowed Chair Matters
Endowed Chairs represent the highest level of academic distinction in leading global institutions. They provide a permanent platform to attract exceptional scholars, advance frontier research, influence business practice and public policy, and ensure sustained thought leadership in critical disciplines.

Honouring Professor Albert Alos
Professor Albert Alos, Founding Dean of Lagos Business School, Pan-Atlantic University, is a pioneering figure whose vision, discipline, and academic rigour shaped the institution's trajectory. His leadership established the foundation upon which Lagos Business School stands today as one of Africa's leading business schools.
The Professor Albert Alos Endowed Chair in Strategic Management was formally announced on Wednesday, 25 March 2026. It stands as a tribute to his distinguished legacy and as a bold institutional commitment to advancing strategic management thought leadership in Africa.
Following its formal announcement, the School has now entered the execution phase, with a clear objective to fully endow and operationalise the Chair in time to commemorate Professor Albert Alos' 87th birthday in September 2026. This represents a defining institutional milestone — one that calls for the collective support of alumni, corporate partners, and friends of Lagos Business School.
