Economics is one of the subjects that are taken very seriously in the school system, irrespective of level of education. It has been described as a model of thinking which encourages learners to observe, reflect and reason logically about a problem and in communicating ideas, making it the central intellectual discipline and a vital tool in social science and technology (Okereke & Onyekperem, 2004). Economics is the foundation for any meaningful scientific endeavor and any nation that must develop in science and technology must have a strong Economics foundation for its youths.
