Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Investment is a key driver of economic growth and development in Nigeria. Understanding the determinants of investment in the country is crucial for policymakers and investors to make informed decisions. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence investment in Nigeria. The research will employ a quantitative research design, utilizing secondary data collected from various sources including the Central Bank of Nigeria, National Bureau of Statistics, and World Bank. The data will cover a time series ranging from the past decade to provide a comprehensive analysis. The determinants to be examined include macroeconomic factors such as GDP growth, inflation rate, interest rates, exchange rates, and government policies. Additionally, the study will explore the impact of institutional factors such as political stability, rule of law, and regulatory environment on investment decisions in Nigeria. The methodology will involve regression analysis to determine the relationship between the identified determinants and investment levels in Nigeria. The study will also conduct a comparative analysis to assess how these factors have evolved over time and their implications for investment dynamics in the country. The findings of this research are expected to provide valuable insights into the key drivers of investment in Nigeria. By identifying the factors that influence investment decisions, policymakers can develop strategies to attract more domestic and foreign investment, thereby stimulating economic growth and job creation. Investors can also use the findings to make informed decisions on allocating resources in the Nigerian market. Overall, this study contributes to the existing literature on investment determinants in developing countries, particularly in the context of Nigeria. The research findings can guide policy formulation and investment strategies to foster sustainable economic development in the country.
