Prof. Josiah Ajiboye, Executive Secretary, Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, has called on universities and economic educators to encourage innovativenes and entrepreneurial spirit among students to enhance economic resilience.

Ajiboye made the call at the Seventh Annual National Conference of the International Association of Economics Educators. The event was organised by the association in collaboration with Lagos State University (LASU) in Lagos.

It had the theme: “Economic Resilience: Navigating Global Challenges“. Ajiboye said that, at the moment, Nigeria needed to consistently develop critical thinking and problemsolving skills in universities to boost the economy.

“In a time marked by unparalleled disruption to the global economy, ranging from financial crises and pandemics to climate change and technological upheaval, the notion of economic resilience has become paramount.

“Economic resilience denotes an economy’s capacity to withstand shocks, adjust to disturbances, and recuperate rapidly while maintaining sustained long-term growth.
