Abstract
Description
Economic related risks and dirt of investment at both national and international scales have been
reported in research. There is a correlation between the existence of such multi-dimensional risks and
business expansion across major cultures. In view of this fact, this study engages the analysis of the
effect of cyber fraud on investment decisions in Nigeria. It adopts mixed method design thus
culminating into the use of few research instruments. The population of the study is divided into two
and six local government areas of Lagos state, Nigeria was selected and used for data collection. It was
found that investment decision in this technological era is also mitigated by the existence of risk and
this trend conforms to what research have documented for all known investible environments. It is
recommended that nations should do more to assuage investors the fear of losing their hard earned
resources. This is expected to be achieved by promoting citizen friendly policies that will reduce the
likelihood of experimenting with unlawful behaviours that are capable of inhibiting socio-economic
development and this will invariably promote a favourable investment atmosphere that will spur
economic growth.
