Turkish Economic Review, 2020, vol. 7, issue 1, 1-15

Abstract: This study examined the impact of non-oil export on economic growth in Nigeria using disaggregated data. The study employed annual time series data from 1981 to 2017 sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The study adopted the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to estimate the short and long run relationship between non-oil export and economic growth. The findings revealed that agricultural and manufacturing exports have positive and significant impact on economic growth both in the short and long run. Solid minerals export has positive but insignificant impact on economic growth. The study recommends that government should create enabling environment for non-oil export to thrive through provision of infrastructure, access to credit facilities and stable macroeconomic policies.
