In all you do, try to start reaching out to students in your program/school of interest. Sometimes, they are able to tell you what the strength of the program is and what is key in the application.

Economics is one of the fields where it is especially hard for you as a Nigerian to get into ' a fully funded PhD program ' with just a BSc, the 4.1 is rather low, too low for any PhD program with real aspirations. But if you have a barrel of money (arigbabuwo) nothing should stop you from applying, but if you have rather limited resources and you are looking to squeeze maximum value or generate some serious 'consumer surplus' you should focus on awesome Masters program like Miami University, Ohio or some other awesome school, see how it goes for one or two semesters, see how it actually goes. PhD especially in Economics is not beans and as a Nigerian trained one you will come to find out as the Americans say 'you ain't all that'. Choose wisely and I hail all the baba's in the house.

Based on your post, I'll suggest you focus on your final semester plus preparation for GRE for now because you really don't want to stuff your head up with distractions in your last UG hurdle and there are over a thousand and one schools with great offers; provided you portray a very good and competitive profile.

While you are at that, you can also use your free time surfing the internet in search of schools correlating to your program of interest, GRE/TOEFL study materials and possible funding opportunities. By the time you re done with your final semester, you would have gotten a handful of schools to select from.

GboyegaD:
I would suggest you focus more on your final semester since applications for Fall 2018 does not start until much later in the year. As for schools, I would advice you raise your bar a bit and try to do excellently well in the GRE.
Best of luck in your final semester.

OluDare01:
What's your major? why not also look at other schools where you can get funding?

I don't know about your first question but about the second one, they use MOSTLY background. I heard the exam is not based on MERIT. If you are from a poor background, the chance of being shortlisted is high..

Such an interesting thread, too bad someone has obviously threaten the op; he is only trying to do damage control at this moment.

Nawa sha, you allow your lecturers to frustrate for nairaland join.

Happy new year MTNF Scholars,
We'd like to apologise for the delay in your payment disbursement which was to be paid in December 2016 but had to be rescheduled due to some reasons beyond our control . We'd like you to be a little patient with us as our target now is to pay you before January runs out. This is not cast in stone as I do not have the authority to choose the payment day.Nevertheless, we are hoping that there wont be any reason that would cause a change in the payment plans. have a lovely year ahead

Economics as a discipline is based on assumptions i.e change in X 'may' bring about a change in Y. Without a post graduate programme on finance, Economics may be irrelevant. Opinion.
