The Impact Of Some Selected Non-Oil Exports On The Growth And Development Of Nigeria Economy

ABSTRACT This study presents the impact of some selected non-oil export on the growth and development of Nigeria. Times series data gotten from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin spanning between 1986 and 2013 were adopted.Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is used as proxies for growth and development of Nigeria, while non-oil export revenue (NONX) is used as proxies for non-oil export. Ordinary least square method (OLS) econometric technique through the application of E-views software statistical package was used for the analysis of the result. The study found that non-oil export (NONX) and exchange rate (EXCR) are directly related to gross domestic product. This study also reveals that there is negative and insignificant relationship between inflation rate (INFR) and gross domestic product (GDP). The study recommended among other thing that government at all level in Nigeria should pay more attention to improve non-oil export sector by encouraging export promotion programmes and institutions.
