The Policy Analysis and Research Group (PARG) was founded on the 17th of February 1998 by ten students of the department of Economics, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, with Prof Charles C. Soludo. PARG is tailored towards helping undergraduates and budding economists at large attain academic excellence through regular group discussions and academic exercises such as policy debates, symposiums, seminars, workshops etc. PARG tutors its members on methods and processes of conducting statistical and econometric researches, grounded in sound economic models using data from multiple sources on different policy issues, as well as how to interpret research findings through written analysis for audiences. The group allows members work together in a collaborative atmosphere that is both process and result oriented.

Celebrating the Conclusion of Our Semester Research Activities! We are thrilled to wrap up our Research and Policy Analysis activities for the Second Semester of the 2023/2024 Academic Session with an innovative INTER-SCHOOL FIELD TRIP CHALLENGE! This year’s topic focused on “THE PERCEPTION OF STUDENTS TOWARDS ACADEMIC STRIKE ACTIONS AND ITS IMPACT ON THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE” A case study of the different faculties in the University of Nigeria nsukka. This impactful initiative, led by the outgoing PARG UNN Board of Directors and anchored by the newly appointed Director of Research and Academic Planning (DRAP), Pgt. Chibudom Ironuru, provided an invaluable platform for learning and collaboration. The field trip aimed to offer members a practical understanding of how theoretical concepts apply to real-world scenarios, bridging the gap between academic learning and practical experiences. Highlights from the Challenge: Participating schools showcased their skills by: - Reviewing relevant literature in the field of economics and research. - Conducting rigorous data analyses to draw actionable insights. - Presenting evidence-based recommendations that, if implemented, could address pressing research questions. The competitive spirit was palpable as each team brought their A-game! While everyone’s efforts deserve applause, every challenge has a winner. Stay tuned for our next post, where we’ll reveal the winner! If you’re passionate about economics, academic research, or policy analysis, let’s connect! Share your thoughts, follow for more updates, and don’t forget to like and share this post to inspire more engagement in academic and practical research initiatives.
