Where Data Meets
Policy Decisions
The B.Sc. Economics programme equips graduates with critical analytical skills, econometric tools, and policy formulation abilities to solve complex economic challenges in Nigeria and global markets.
The philosophy underlying the Economics programme is to produce graduates equipped with critical skills and abilities to: abstract using simplified models that identify the essence of a problem; analyze and reason - both deductively and inductively; marshal evidence, assimilate structure and analyze qualitative and quantitative data; communicate concisely the results to a wide audience, including those with no training in Economics.
Think critically about the limits of one's analysis in a broader socio-economic context, and draw economic policy inferences while recognizing potential constraints in their implementation.
What We Aim to Achieve
Provide training in the principles of economics and their application appropriate to the type of degree concerned: single, joint and combined studies.
Stimulate students intellectually through the study of economics and to lead them to appreciate its application to a range of problems and its relevance in a variety of contexts.
Develop in students the ability to apply analytical tools, knowledge and skills acquired to the solution of societies' economic problems.
Equip students with appropriate tools of analysis to tackle issues and problems of economic policy.
Develop in students, through the study of economics, a range of transferable skills that will be of value in employment and self employment.
Provide students with the knowledge and skill base, from which they can proceed to further studies in Economics, related areas or in multi disciplinary areas that involve Economics.
