Head of Department's Welcome Address
Compliments of the Joyous season everybody!!!
Welcome to the Department of Economics at the University of Ibadan. It is a great privilege that God has given me to lead this great Department as Head at this time. This is a department that is very dear to me; for the past three decades, I have been part of its growth and development. I have loved the department so much that one of my strongest desires was to one day lead it to new frontiers of excellence building on the solid foundation of the early fathers of the department who took time to nurture it and place it on the global map of excellence. The department, with its sound research, teaching and community service culture, promises to continue to produce sound Economics graduates who are worthy in character and sound judgment.
