The study looked at how government spending in Nigeria from 1970 to 2009 affected the country's economy. They used a statistical model to see how different types of government spending impacted economic growth. The results showed that spending on social and community services, as well as certain types of transfers, had a positive effect on economic growth. However, spending on economic services had a negative impact. The study suggests that allocating more money to services that positively impact economic growth could be beneficial for Nigeria's economy.
