Abstract
Description
The study investigates the influence of
foreign direct investment (FDI) and infrastructural
development on non-oil exports in Nigeria (1981-2014).
FDI connotes investment made in the acquisition of longterm
management interest in an enterprise and operating
in a country other than that of the investors. It augments
domestic investment (DI), which is crucial to the
attainment of economic growth and development. There
are divergent views on the nature of effects of FDI in the
body of literature. Thus, this study sheds recent light on
the issue using the Nigerian case.
