In line with these objectives, two research questions were raised and two hypotheses were formulated for the study. The study was anchored on the theory of Science of Curriculum Product propounded by Franklin Bobbitt (1918. A descriptive survey research design was employed. The population of the study was 784,133 students and 4,496 teachers of Economics in FCT, Kogi, Nassarawa, and Niger States. A stratified sampling technique was used to sample out 46 teachers and 467 students to respond to the instrument. Self-structured set of questionnaires titled Adequacy of Economics Curriculum for Managerial Skills Questionnaire (AECMSQ) and designed in a four-point Likert table used to elicit responses from the respondents. The instrument was validated by the supervisors and was further pilot tested to detect the reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha. The reliability index was 0.82. Data was analyzed using t-test and ANOVA. It was found out that teachers and students agreed that the contents of Economics are adequate for the acquisition of managerial in Secondary School, but that the subject does not offer among others, skills for practical production, training and retraining of staff and management of disputes among staff. It was recommended among others that the curriculum planners and implementers should ensure that the Economics curriculum is made more practical so as to offer skills for the production of goods and rendering of services.
