ABSTRACT
In recent decades, the potential contribution of agriculture
to economic growth has been a subject of controversy among development
economists. While some argue that agricultural development is a prerequisite
for industrialization, others strongly disagree and argue for a different path.
Taking advantage of the ordinary least square method (OLD),
searches through secondary data and the use of independent variables:
agricultural development, capital accumulation, inflation rate and interest
rate review the question of whether agriculture could serve as an engine of
growth of the Nigerian economy
The results of the empirical analysis shows that
productivity in the agricultural sector has not significantly positive impact
on economic growth of Nigeria.
