Welcome Message from GEM College of International Business, Australia
On behalf of the GEM College Global Reference Committee and the Board of GEM College of International Business (Australia), it is with great pleasure that we welcome GEM Business School, Nigeria, into the GEM Global Network.
GEM College of International Business is honoured to have Mr. Benjamin Dankaka and his team at GEM Business School as valued members of its global family.
Mr. Dankaka first caught our attention in 2022, through his work as Founder and CEO of the Global Leaders and Readers Club (GLRC). His innovative approach to STEM for Girls through the Education and Empowerment Center for Women (EECW) has been inspirational, as has his service on the Board of Trustees for the Water for Rural Dwellers Initiative.
Today, GEM College of International Business is proud to have Benjamin, our alumnus, leading the GEM Team in Nigeria.
Our Motto: Global Resources: Local Focus sums up what we offer our licensed campuses and their stakeholders.
Australia is a long-standing pioneer in the delivery of new and innovative education, boosting access and participation for both Australians and international students from around the world. Its comprehensive education and training system with established pathways across school, vocational education and training, higher education and employment ensures a high-quality student experience. Australian qualifications, like British qualifications, have always been recognised around the world. This recognition was further underscored in January 2023, when Australia was an approved signatory to the new UNESCO Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education.
GEM College and its global e-learning partner, VELSOFT Inc, will continue to work with licensed campuses in countries around the world to establish collaborative networks, share information and developments about our education system, and develop knowledge platforms and tools required for global co-operation in the vital field of education.
The GEM Business School, in collaboration with GEM College of International Business, will champion best practices in Nigeria and beyond, building human capital, community development and supporting two-way mobility of students and graduates.
Those who study at the GEM Business School can have absolute confidence that their qualifications, whether undertaken onshore, offshore or online, will be recognised in-country as they pursue greater employment opportunities or access higher education. Our qualifications are “pracademic” – practical in application and rigorous in academics – assisting graduates in commercial and professional careers, or gaining access to higher learning around the world.

Our goal has always been “to reach every learner on the planet” and your initiative will move us one step closer to fulfilling our plans.
