Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in Nigeria.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: FDI positively impacts Nigeria's economic growth by fostering capital formation and technology transfer. However, this relationship is influenced by factors like institutional quality and governance effectiveness. Challenges such as infrastructure deficits and policy instability hinder FDI's full potential. Thus, creating a favorable investment climate and implementing sound economic policies are crucial for sustainable economic growth in Nigeria.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The theory of foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth, the dependency theory & the institutional theory may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in Nigeria. Fostering investment in sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, and technology can contribute to economic diversification, employment generation, and skill development, thereby fostering sustainable economic growth. Nigerian authorities should focus on improving the investment climate by implementing reforms aimed at reducing bureaucratic hurdles, streamlining business processes, and enhancing transparency.
