Endowed Chairs
Faculty Excellence. Research Leadership. Enduring Legacy.
About LBS Endowed Chairs
An endowed chair does more than fund a faculty position: it attracts and retains world-class thinkers whose research, mentorship, and ideas shape the next generation of African business leaders. Each chair establishes a permanent platform for rigorous inquiry, builds the School’s global academic standing, and ensures that the pursuit of knowledge is not dependent on short-term funding cycles.
What This Enables
- Sustained investment in exceptional faculty and Africa-focused research
- Strengthening of LBS’s standing as a centre of global academic excellence
- Long-term knowledge creation with proven value for business
What This Offers The Donor
- A perpetual naming opportunity aligned with a discipline of strategic significance
- Association with a platform shaping thought leadership across the continent
- Structured governance, active stewardship, and regular impact reporting
- A legacy that outlasts any single intervention
Endowed Chairs are far more than academic titles; they serve as pillars of institutional excellence. At Lagos Business School, establishing such Chairs will not only enhance research and faculty capacity, but also ensure that African perspectives continue to shape global business discourse. Now is the time to invest in legacies that will endure.
