The data used was Quarterly data covering the period from 1986 - 2019 sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and OPEC database 2018. The variables used in the analysis are Gross Domestic product (GDP) was used as dependent variable, oil price, exchange rate and interest rate was used as the independent variable.
