Economic and Financial Review
Although the report of the 1989 survey showed that for the first time ever, a net outflow was recorded by the foreign private enterprises in Nigeria, the development was a welcome one.

A Review Of The Federal Government Fertilizer Subsidy Scheme In Nigeria, Grace O. Evbuomwan
A Review Of The Federal Government Fertilizer Subsidy Scheme In Nigeria, Grace O. Evbuomwan
Economic and Financial Review
This paper reviews the fertilizer subsidy scheme in Nigeria. Using descriptive statistics and econometric methods, the study shows that farmers' access to fertilizer has improved since the commencement of the subsidy scheme in 1976 and the direct involvement of the Federal Government in the procurement and distribution of the input. This also coincided with the period when remarkable improvements were recorded in the yield of virtually all the major crops, especially staples. The econometric analysis confirms that a positive correlation exists between fertilizer supply/consumption and output, while the level of subsidy on the input influences its consumption (utilization) and tends …

Nigeria's Insurance Industry In 1989, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn
Economic and Financial Review
The growth in the number of insurance companies in Nigeria between 1988 and 1989 revealed the preference of the investors in the industry towards non-life underwriting business. In addition, only one out of the six new entrants into the industry was jointly owned. The unattractiveness of the industry to foreign investors was partly due to the perceived decreasing prosperity in the business as well as the unfavourable investment climate of the Nigerian economy. With many of the insurance companies now scheduled to be privatised, greater efficiency is expected in their operations, particularly among those previously controlled by the government. In …

An Econometric Analysis Of The Nature And Causes Of Inflation In Nigeria, J. O. Asogu
Economic and Financial Review
In this econometric revisitation of inflation in Nigeria, an extensive review of the literature and evidence has been attempted culminating in a specification of the various alternative hypotheses on the causes of inflation. While not ruling out the validity of several theories of inflation in the Nigerian situation, empirical evidence indicates that increases in real domestic produce or supply situation, especially food, and law cost of production of consumables, tended to ameliorate inflation. On the other hand, increases in government expenditure, especially deficits, tend to increase the money supply and worsen depreciation of the exchange rate, which in turn intensify …
