The Institute of Chartered Economists of Nigeria, with the Federal Government of Nigeria approved and trademarked as the Institute of Chartered Economists of Nigeria with registration number NG/TM/O/2022/67881, is taking the Economists out of the four walls of the Universities and classroom teachers to a global and professional consultant. The dreams of the ICEN have finally come to stay when the Chartered Economists can now practice their profession the moment they become a Chartered Economist (through the ICEN) as those in the Accountancy profession and other government-approved professional bodies. The Economists must never be left in the dark anymore. The field of Economists, as we all know, compromises all the social sciences and is the mother of all social sciences. To put the records straight, all Chartered Economists of the ICEN can now apply for their practicing certificate to practice as ‘Chartered Economists Consultants.’

The question that many people often ask is: Can Economics be Chartered? This question is similar to asking whether fields such as accounting, marketing, computer science, entrepreneurship, human resources, personnel management, engineering, and geography can be Chartered. If all these disciplines can achieve Chartered status, then Economics—the foundation of all social sciences—can certainly be Chartered and practiced in the same manner as accounting and others.
Economics is recognized as one of the most esteemed fields among social science courses worldwide.
