About History/Economics

History/Economics is a dynamic combined degree that equips students with analytical tools drawn from two powerful disciplines. Students examine Nigeria's pre-colonial, colonial, and post-independence past alongside core economic principles including microeconomics, macroeconomics, development economics, and quantitative methods. The programme develops strong research, critical thinking, and data interpretation skills highly valued across multiple sectors. Graduates are well-positioned to pursue careers in the Nigerian civil service, banking and financial services, policy research, and journalism or media analysis. Those advancing into public finance and accounting may pursue professional certification through ICAN, while graduates entering economic planning roles often find opportunities within federal and state ministries. Further postgraduate study in history, economics, or international relations remains a popular and rewarding pathway.
