The academic significance of the FIRST Degree
As much as there are no shortcuts to life's greatest achievements, there are no shortcuts in education too. The broad and sound foundation of tertiary education is the First degree on which lies the true pre-requisite for postgraduate qualification of real academic value worthy of acceptance and due recognition locally and globally.

An MBA holder is better recognized by educational institutes in particular if he or she has gone through the stringent path of the first degree which no postgraduate degree can ever substitute. Remember, it is knowledge that confers qualifications and not vice versa.
