ABSTRACT
The study investigated effect of exchange rate fluctuation on economic growth of Nigeria from 1986-2016. It adopted ex post facto research design and extracted data from the central bank of Nigeria statistic bulletins. The study used real gross domestic product and per capita income as proxies for economic growth while exchange rate, inflation rate and interest rate were used as the independent variable. Inflation rate and interest rate were adopted as extraneous, variable. 'The researcher conducted unit root test to ascertain the stationarity of the variables. Real gross domestic product interest and inflation rates are stationary at level while per capital income and exchange rate variable are stationary at first difference. The study therefore used the Auto regressive distributed lag (Bound Test) to estimate the relationship of the variable. It was found that exchange rate has significant effect on real gross domestic product. The study hence conducted that exchange rate fluctuation has a significant effect on economic growth of Nigeria and recommends that: (a) government should exchange rate to be determined by the dynamic of the market so that there would be an even growth in the economy (b) government should ensure that.the purchasing power is based on the reality on the economy with a view to the exchange, interest and inflation rates and encourage an equal measure of the production of goods and services.
