The study examined<\/span> the influence of creativity and critical thinking in stabilizing economic sustainability in Western Nigeria. <\/span>The study employed survey research design.. The research instrument adapted for the study were titled Creativity and Critical Thinking for Economic Stability Rating Scale (CCESRS). The sample for the study comprises of 1153 graduate of Bachelor Degrees Masters Degrees and PhD Holders in various discipline in the universities across Nigeria. Cronbach\u2019s Alpha<\/span> was used for the reliability and the coefficient r=0.92. <\/span>The purposive sampling techniques procedures was adopted for the study. The data use for was analyzed using ANCOVA. Three hypotheses were postulated and tested at 0.05 significant level. <\/span>The result revealed the significant outcome (F = 408.064, p<0.05). This implies that creativity significantly contributes to economic sustainability of<\/span> graduates\u2019 youths in Western Nigeria. Also, it was revealed that<\/span> critical thinking<\/span> predicts <\/span>economic sustainability of graduates\u2019 youths in western Nigeria<\/span> with significant outcome (F = 603.694, p<0.05). Implies that <\/span>critical thinking<\/span> was significantly contributes to the variance of economic sustainability<\/span> graduates\u2019 youths in Western Nigeria<\/span>. But the result revealed no significant of emotional intelligent as a predictor of <\/span>economic sustainability of graduates\u2019 youths in western Nigeria<\/span> with the outcome (F = 720.821, p<0.05). It was concluded that <\/span>creative, critical thinking and emotional intelligent enhance innovation among graduating youths in Western Nigeria. And at the same time a recommendation was given for consideration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
