work and unit root test was conducted on the data to test their stationarity,
after which we perform co-integration test to analyze the long run relationship
among the variables. The result obtained from our empirical analysis shows that
there is a longrun relationship between fiscal deficit and economic performance

the government should encourage domestic investors through giving incentives
like lower interest rate in order to boost investment as this will lead to
improvement in thefiscal deficit position in Nigeria. Keywords: Fiscal Deficit,
