Lagos Business School joins members of Opus dei, all over the world, to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Bishop Álvaro del Portillo (Don Álvaro), whose influence and support was instrumental to the founding of LBS. Don Álvaro was the Prelate of Opus dei at the time the LBS initiative began.  He gave his fatherly support to the effort of his children, the members of Opus dei, and their friends, who were involved with starting the School.
