Abstract: The Nigerian Economic Society (NES) added the Special Panels on the Teaching of Economics to its annual conference at the 44 edition th which held in Port Harcourt in 2001. The Executive Council of NES introduced the Special panels on teaching of economics as a platform for (i) substantially improving the quality of economics education, economics research and policy analysis in Nigerian
universities and (ii) closing the skills gap in the job market. Through the panels, the Nigerian Economic Society provides its members with a platform to discuss a broad range of issues on teaching, research, academic publishing and policy
analysis as well as an interface between Faculty and employers. While the special panels have become a major part of the annual conferences, very few of the presentations have been published.
