About the Department

The Department of Economics at Imo State University, Owerri, envisions a modern academic community that equips students with critical minds and the knowledge required for national, regional, and inter-regional development. We are committed to excellence in teaching, research, and the use of ICT to produce well-adjusted, functionally efficient graduates who can disseminate and apply economic knowledge for national development.

Our mission is to develop well-balanced economics graduates through quality, research-oriented instruction that promotes meaningful change and contributes to integrated national development.

Our objectives are to produce graduates with rational thinking and strong economic insight who can assume responsible roles in government, business, finance, education, research, and development institutions. We also place special emphasis on quantitative analysis to prepare students to become rational and functional economic analysts.
