The President Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr Babatunde Ruwase, has said that primary and secondary school pupils need to have a knowledge of economic issues so as to be able to navigate them and achieve success while developing the nation.

He made this known through an LCCI council member, Mrs Sarah Sosan, at the 2018 LCCI Secondary School Essay Competition and Prize Giving Day event held last Friday at the Commerce House, Victoria Island, Lagos.

According to Ruwase, the need to educate pupils on economic issues gave birth to the competition and this year’s theme,  The Role of Entrepreneurship in National Development.
