The Expedition Conference was founded in 2014 by a group of Economics students who had a keen interest in discovering insights into the phase after school. It is the brainchild and star event of The Nigerian Economic Student’s Association, University of Lagos (NESA Unilag); a student association aimed to harness the intellectual, academic, and social welfare of students in the department chapter consistently through three decades, - since it’s inception. It started with noticing the gap in real learning. Students in the Economics department, University of Lagos, realized the lag of the Nigerian Educational system and how the volatile nature posed risk to a student’s future. The conference began as a safe space and new reality from the despondency and volatility of the Nigerian state and it’s effects on the Nigerian student. It has grown into an annual socio-economic gathering, that has brought the most coveted personalities across all sectors, engage students in issues that affect their hearts, interests, daily activities, and careers. In partnership with sponsors and speakers who represent the most prestigious institutions, firms, societies, associations, businesses, and brands in Nigeria, The Expedition Conference has and continues to create opportunities for students, leadership, providing access to internships, quality career training, idea, and innovation funding.
