Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has been conferred with an Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration by the Rome Business School, Nigeria.
The Governor received the honour on Saturday during the 2025 Graduation Ceremony of Rome Business School, Nigeria, held at Victoria Island, Lagos, where the presentation of the Honorary Doctorate Award also took place.
Founder of Rome Business School and Rome Business School, Nigeria, Prof. Antonio Ragusa, said Governor Sanwo-Olu was conferred with the Doctorate in recognition of his outstanding leadership, dedicated service, and unwavering commitment to the development and wellbeing of Lagos State.
He noted that the Governor’s visionary approach and impactful initiatives have significantly contributed to economic growth, social progress, governance excellence, and the promotion of education, equality, and justice in Lagos State and Nigeria.
“His honourary degree honours not only his remarkable contributions but also his continuous legacy of service and leadership that inspires future generations,” Prof. Ragusa said.
Speaking at the ceremony, Governor Sanwo-Olu reiterated his administration’s commitment to providing quality and affordable education in Lagos State. He highlighted that within six years, his administration increased the number of state-owned universities from one to three, and also expanded access to education by building more public schools across the State.
The Governor congratulated the graduating students and assured them that opportunities for collaboration, innovation and partnership remain open for those willing to think boldly and work diligently.
He said: “Today is special because of the conferment of the Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration. This honour speaks to impact, to dedication, and to meaningful contributions to our nation’s business landscape. It is a reminder that excellence does not go unnoticed.
“Let me speak directly to our graduates. You are stepping into a world that is changing rapidly. Technology is transforming industries, innovation is reshaping economies, and leadership today is defined not by titles, but by the value you bring to the table. What you have gained here should reflect not only on your certificates but also in your mindset, your attitude, and your character.
“Wherever you go from here, go with confidence. Go with integrity. Go with the willingness to solve problems rather than complain about them. I believe strongly that Nigeria will rise—and when it does, it will be because of people like you. People who have taken the time to prepare themselves. People who see opportunity where others see obstacles.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu also commended the management of Rome Business School for their steadfast commitment to knowledge and character development, noting that “When an institution consistently produces graduates who can compete anywhere in the world, it is clear that something exceptional is happening within its walls.”
