The challenge
The GCGL came up with the TBSC to increase the knowledge base of students and improve the practicality of what they study in school.
Held on the theme: ‘Developing Business Minds – The Hot Seat’, the challenge is bringing together students from tertiary business schools all over the country to exhibit their knowledge in the business field.
The maiden edition is, thus, focusing on business schools interested in showcasing the quality of their faculties, tuition centres and facilities, knowledge capacity of their students and quality of their output.
