WELCOME ADDRESS FROM THE HEAD, DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES

I am very delighted in welcoming you to the Department of Economics and Development Studies. Covenant University is an amazing opportunity to deliver a compelling vision to raise a new generation of leaders that will redeem the dignity of the black race. The Department was established in September 2004 with two programmes, namely: i) Economics and ii) and Demography and Social Statistics, which is a skilled–based training towards raising future planners and policymakers. We are committed to cultivating exceptional Economists and Demographers with the capacity to positively impact the future of the global economy, beginning with the African continent.
