Accountancy at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) names Economics alongside English Language and Mathematics at O’Level, and keeps all three in the JAMB combination as well.
A separate line addresses NBC holders, listing five commercial subjects that will count towards the remaining credits. Candidates from business colleges get clearer guidance here than on most UNILAG pages.
The sections below set out the O’Level credits, the four JAMB papers, the Direct Entry route and the institutional JAMB score that applies to every department.
To study Accountancy, candidates must meet the following requirements.

Economics Runs Through Every Stage of UNILAG Accountancy
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, Economics and any other two relevant subjects. Three papers are named, which is more than most commercial courses specify.
For NBC holders the two remaining subjects may come from Accounting, Principles of Accounts, Commerce, Office Practice and Secretarial Duties. That line converts a vague word into a usable list.
The JAMB registration is four subjects: English Language, Mathematics, and Economics plus any Social Science subject. The same three named papers carry across from the O’Level requirement.
Direct Entry accepts two ‘A’ level passes chosen from Economics, Accounting, Business Management, Government and Geography. Economics appears there too, making it the one constant across all three routes.
The JAMB score condition is 200 and above for admission to any department at the University of Lagos. A candidate without an Economics credit has no listed way into this department.
