The study examines the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Economic Growth in Nigeria.
Using foreign direct investment, exchange rate and total domestic savings as the explanatory variables, we
examine the effect of Foreign D irect Investment (FD I) on Gross Domestic product, our proxy for economic
growth and the dependent variable. Employing the OLS regression technique, our result showed that Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI) has significant impact on Economic Growth in Nigeria during the period under study.
We therefore conclude that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) performs a role in accelerating economic growth
in Nigeria. Although the relationship between FDI and economic growth was found to be statistically
insignificant, but there still exist a positive relationship. Government should strive to create conducive
environment for foreign direct investment in Nigeria through appropriate fiscal, monetary and general economic
policies and stable political environment.
Key words: Accelerating, capital accumulation, economic growth, foreign investment, , ,
