These individuals have become renowned leaders, corporate CEOs, successful entrepreneurs and change agents in their different endeavours. We definitely have the capacity to deliver the IBS Green Enterprise, as we have also commenced the greening of all our operations in Nigeria".

Fasuyi further disclosed that Nigeria is fully committed to the Global Green Transition Agenda, and that Ibadan Business School, being the First Training and Development Institute to wholly go green in Africa, is a pride to the Continent. "We have set up machineries in partnership with GREENPLITH AFRICA, to birth the very First GREEN UNIVERSITY IN AFRICA before the end of 2023. The Green University will be established in Nigeria. "We are midwifing a new IBS as the first institution of choice in Human Capacity Development and Consultancy Services in Nigeria and the Africa Region, in all Businesses relating to Innovative Climate Solutions and Environmental Management – Beyond Training".
