The Vision of the Department is to train a new generation of Business Practitioners and Scholars that would assume leadership roles and establish themselves as significant trailblazers in their world, that is, take the lead in the global business environment by proffering business solutions and establishing themselves as significant players in the global business arena. Below are parameters in which the Department of Business Management intends to enhance its Business Development performance:

Education: Adopting and adapting modern and vibrant educational approaches which provide students with the opportunities and facilities to achieve their maximum potentials towards greatness and excellence in order to achieve universal education.

Agriculture: Initiating creative and innovative ideas leading to the development of a modern technologically enabled agricultural sector with vast business, marketing, and human resource strategies that will fully exploit the vast agricultural resources of the country and thereby ensure national food security and contribute significantly to foreign exchange earnings and also eradicate extreme hunger and poverty.

Manufacturing: Designing and developing product or service ideas that will lead the Nigerian manufacturing sector to be vibrant and globally competitive, one that will contribute significantly to the GDP with value-added of not less than 40%.
Our vision is being driven passionately by the Visioneer who believes in and is totally committed to the manifestation of our vision. The vision reflects the aspirations of stakeholders (Community, Students, Staff and Faculty); it is, therefore, paramount that the articulating process of the overall goals and key strategies should involve the representation of stakeholder groups and social-political perspectives.

Covenant University’s Business Management Department is not just another Department of the School of Business in the College of Business and Social Sciences.  We are not into the business of pumping theories into our students; we are rather engaged in a unique mission to this generation and beyond offering an educational service.  We are determined to make our humble contribution by selflessly investing in the development process of students in the Department.  Our mission is to:
 i.   train our students to be “Expert Business Thinkers”, who are: mentally
      resourceful; intellectually equipped; entrepreneurially  self-dependent;
      “futuristically” visionary; responsive to business changes and prepared for
     the leadership roles in organizations (which they are made for);
ii.  train our students to face business challenges; to be intelligently
     conscious of their immediate and extended business environment and
     capable of maximizing the readily available resources; and
iii. develop integrated, life-applicable, life-promoting business solutions and
     education.
Our main mission is to produce Business graduates that are intellectually sound and entrepreneurial, self-reliant, who are consistently seen as business solution providers and business world changers. The Department’s core services are Teaching, Research, Capacity Building and Community Development.  We perform these services with the aid of the University Core Values such as Spirituality, Integrity and Capacity Building, to mention just a few and by making use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), as well as by collaborating with other institutions worldwide.
