About Economics

Economics is a dynamic social science programme that equips students with analytical tools to understand how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources. Students examine microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, public finance, development economics, and Nigerian economic policy, among other core areas. The programme blends quantitative reasoning with theoretical frameworks, preparing graduates to interpret data, forecast trends, and design policy solutions. Upon graduation, students can pursue careers as economic analysts, banking professionals, policy advisors within federal and state ministries, or development consultants with international organisations operating across Nigeria. Those entering financial services may advance their credentials through the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, while aspiring accountants often pursue professional certification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria.
