I miss the days when I could decode abbreviations I’d never encountered before and still get the meaning right.
There is no reward for playing it extremely safe.

I've had the time to review your CV, and honestly, it's not bad. For a fresh graduate. A lot of people leave school with CVs similar to this.
However, there are some things you need to look out for when crafting a compelling CV. Remember, I said it's not bad, so I can be quite brutal when I'm reviewing things because I want the best.
To start with, your headline is okay, but it's not good enough. You can improve on it.
You have your name in bold and a bigger font size, which is good. Then underneath, you have your phone number, email address and LinkedIn profile.
Starting with the phone number, the format isn't really the best. I understand why you used dashes, probably to separate the numbers, but that's not the standard format I would recommend. You can simply use something like +234 followed by the rest of the number, or put 234 in brackets and then space out the remaining digits properly. The key thing is to keep the formatting clean and professional.
Then, regarding your Gmail and LinkedIn profile, make sure both are hyperlinked. If someone clicks on your email address, it should open an email, and clicking on your LinkedIn should take them directly to your profile.
Also, you need to customise your LinkedIn URL. You can only do this using a laptop. Go into your LinkedIn profile settings and look for the option to edit your public profile URL. You can also watch a quick YouTube tutorial if you're not sure where to find it.
At the moment, your LinkedIn link has all those random characters after your name. You don't need them. Make the URL as clean as possible, preferably something based on your name. After "linkedin.com/in/", it should simply be your customised name.
Another thing I noticed is the arrangement of your contact details. Your phone number, email address and LinkedIn should ideally be on one line, rather than being scattered.
You also need a proper headline. Since you're an Economics graduate, you can have something along the lines of "Economics Graduate | Financial Analysis | Data Analysis | ICAN Student" or whatever best represents your actual skills and career direction.
The idea is that, at first glance, someone should immediately have an idea of who you are and what you do. Before they even start reading the CV, your headline should give them that picture.
Then, you need a professional summary.
I've seen some people mention this under your post as well, and I agree with them. You need a professional summary of about three lines at most. It's simply a concise way of telling the recruiter who you are, what you can do and what you're looking to contribute.
Now, regarding your experience, I wouldn't describe what you currently have as strong professional work experience yet. Most of what you've listed appears to be volunteering, campus ambassador roles and leadership experiences.
There's nothing wrong with that. You just need to categorise them correctly.
If you have internship experience, that should be highlighted under "Work Experience" because an internship is still professional experience. Your campus ambassador roles and similar positions can then go under something like "Leadership & Volunteering Experience."
Also, I would change the order of some of your sections.
After your professional summary, I would bring your skills section first. You're a young graduate, so recruiters want to quickly understand what you can actually do and what skills you have developed.
This is where you highlight things like data analysis, financial modelling, statistical analysis, Microsoft Excel, relevant software, research, or any other technical skills you genuinely possess.
Your skills are what you are selling, so present them properly.
After your skills, you can bring in your education. You have a good CGPA, so that's something worth showcasing. Highlight your 4.xx CGPA and make sure it is clearly visible.
After education, you can then bring in your work experience, followed by
