According to him, the Energy Business School when fully operational will offer professional courses in areas such as Energy Economics; Energy Policy; Energy Management; Energy, Mineral and Water Resources Project Financing, Innovation and Knowledge Management, Technology Management, Leadership and Talent Management as well as Knowledge and Digital Economy.

Professor Rim-Rukeh further said, students of the business school are expected to obtain Post-Graduate Certificates, Post Graduate Diplomas, Professional Masters (without Dissertations), Professional Masters (with Dissertations), Post Graduate Degrees as well as Professional skills certification in collaboration with relevant national and international professional institutions. The school will also organize national and international courses, conferences, seminars, and similar events to raise public awareness on energy discoveries and developmental strides, while building skills, competences and capacity for energy solutions.

The business school will train students, instructors, and others in the field of energy by collaborating with the relevant units and departments of the university as well as other relevant ministries, public institutions, and organizations on energy applications. It will also ensure more efficient and effective use of traditional energy sources such as petroleum, coal, natural gas, and facilitate access to resources by creating a documentation center for energy research and development activities.
