| Creator | Ekpo, Akpan H. | |
| Description | The study analyses the contribution of government expenditure to the economic growth process in Nigeria over the period 1960-1992. The results indicate that public expenditures on transport, communication and agriculture crowd-in private investment, while public spending on manufacturing and construction crowd-out private investment. Also, expenditures on education and health have a positive influence on private sector investment. Government must continue to perceive the creation of an enabling environment, at the least, as its own contribution to the economic growth process. | |
