The ED-JOHN Institute of Management & Technology formerly known as Philips Business School(PBS) was founded in 1997

As Philips Business School it operated the following institutes:

• Institute of Leadership & Management Science
• Institute of Security and Strategic Studies
• Executive Business Training for Managers, Executives and Business Leaders

Philips Business school had 23 years of Teaching, Research, Business Consulting and Enterprise Development and Served Clients such as: UAC, Unilever, Cadbury, Dangote, Insight Communications, STB McCann, The Quadrant Company, Procter & Gamble, Nigerian Breweries, Guinness, Blue Bird, Centre Spread.

The School was founded at a time when companies were challenged by increasing business complexities and managerial deficits; and school was established with the belief that properly structured executive training programmes could equip both managers and business leaders with leadership and managerial skills needed to navigate the period and prepare the organizations for the future.

After years of providing services to established businesses it became apparent the thrust of the school had to change to be able to support and extend quality education to the teaming Nigerian youths. Recognizing that the government alone cannot provide it all, hence the formal change of name to Ed-John Institute of Management & Technology and the seeking of approval from the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) to operate as a registered institution of higher learning.

Ed-John Institute of Management & Technology is located at Isiwu, along Ikorodu / Imota Road, Lagos State.
