A multiple regression technique was used to analyze the model built for the study. Results from the AdjR2, F-stat, DW, t-stats and trend analysis showed that (1) government sustained increased level of FDI inflow into the country safe for the effect of the global crisis that affect all countries in the world; (2) FDI inflows and its influencing variables have combined significant effect on the growth of Nigerian economy; (3) FDI inflows, openness of the Nigerian economy and infrastructural development can influence the economy positively; while, size of Nigerian government Expenditure, inflation rate and exports have negative relationship with the growth of the economy, and that none of the variables has significant independent influence on the growth of the economy.
