Ghana to host African
Campus of China Europe International Business School
Accra, July 21, Ghanadot/GNA – Ghana has been selected to
host the African Campus of the China Europe International
Business School (CEIBS), one of the world’s top ranking
business training institutions.
It has campuses in Spain, Argentina, Mexico and Shanghai.
Professor Pedro Neuno, Executive President of the School,
broke the news to President John Agyekum Kufuor, when he led
a delegation made up of leaders of business, to pay a
courtesy call on him at the Castle, Osu on Monday.
It would be housed at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons.
President Kufuor said the decision by the school to
establish in Ghana was refreshing, noting that, it would
enable the country to groom the personnel to take advantage
of the growing business opportunities resulting from the
expansion of the economy.
Within the space of about three years, a number of leading
banks from Africa and other parts of the world had been
attracted to operate in the country.
The privilege of having such an institution, he said, would
help the nation to come by best practices and assist the
youth to have the needed insights into business.
The Government for the past seven and a-half years has made
private sector growth, one of the key pillars of its
development agenda.
President Kufuor said business, these days, needed to be
taught along scientific and technological lines.
He described the choice of Ghana as a “pat on the back” that
the nation was doing things right. It has an enabling
environment to build business and entrepreneurs for Africa.
Professor Neuno said they settled on Ghana after careful
research and that the one thing that came out after their
working session in the country was that the decision was
correct.
