Welcome to Nigerian Economic Society

The Nigerian Economic Society (NES) was formed in 1957 by Nigerian scholars as a united platform for Nigerian Economists and allied Social Scientists to provide intellectual leadership in the process of understanding and managing economic, social and political change in Nigeria. The first constitution of the Society was adopted on January 4, 1958. The Nigerian Economic Society organized its first seminar on April 5, 1958 at London and began publishing its main organ, Nigerian Journal of Economic and Social Studies (NJESS) in 1959.

Nigerian Economic Society: Mentorship Programme

The Nigerian Economic Society (NES) has established a Mentorship Programme to offer guidance, career development and knowledge transfer for early career economists. The NES Mentorship Programme serves as a framework to bridge the gap between emerging economists and experienced economists by facilitating meaningful connections, knowledge sharing, and professional development opportunities. The programme aims to empower early-career economists with the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive in their chosen careers and make valuable contributions to the field of economics.
