"What makes UPEI unique is its culture of collaboration, support, and inclusiveness."
What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?
I am originally from Edo State, Nigeria, and was born and raised in Lagos, a vibrant city that greatly influenced who I am today, before I eventually moved to Canada. I was looking for an MBA program that would strengthen my leadership capabilities, offer exposure to diverse global business perspectives, and equip me with practical strategic skills applicable across industries.
