Maiden edition
The GCGL came up with the TBSC last year to increase the knowledge base of students and improve the practicality of what they study in school.
The maiden edition brought together students from tertiary business schools all over the country to test their knowledge in various aspects of business courses.
It also focused on business schools interested in showcasing the quality of their faculties, tuition centres and facilities, knowledge capacity of their students and quality of their output.
