Since 1958
An alumni platform, not just an event poster
Since 1958, the Department of Economics at the University of Ibadan has shaped generations of economists, policymakers, public servants, founders, and institutional leaders. Homecoming 2026 brings that network back to Ibadan for five days of reunion, service, giving, mentoring, celebration, and renewed commitment to the department.
