Introduction
The MBA programme in Taxation prepares students to improve professionalism in business practices and entrepreneurship development. The programme equally trains them to fill middle and senior management positions in business, commerce, industry, and government. With their education and training, graduates of the MBA programme can set up their own businesses since the programme also emphasizes self-employment and consultancy.
The MBA Taxation is therefore designed to sharpen the skills of employees in Senior Management positions in Government generally and the various Tax Authorities in particular for more effective performance in order to ensure enhanced tax revenue for the government. It exposes students to various aspects of Tax Administration in line with Laws of the land and with particular emphasis on the Tax Reform Programme of the Government.
