ABSTRACT
The study, therefore, sought to investigate
the effect ofpoverty reduction on economic growth in Nigeria. To capture the
objectives ofthe study, the study estimated a multiple regression model with
gross domestic product (GDP) as the dependent variable and government
expenditure rural development schemes, government expenditure on education,
government expenditure on agricultural credit schemes as well as the lagged
values of GDP as independent variables. Annual time series data rangingfrom
1981- 2017 ofthe selected variables were employed in the analysis. The study
established that in the shortrun government expenditure on agricultural credit
schemes education has a positive impact on economic growth in Nigeria. The
positive relationship is also statistically significant indicating that
government expenditure on agriculture education has a major determinant
ofeconomic growth in Nigeria.
