Thestudyinvestigatesrelativeimpactoffinancialsectorreformsonagriculturalandmanufacturing sector growth in Nigeria. To guide the study, Ordinary Least Square techniquewas adopted and Eviews 8.0 econometric software was utilized for the analysis. A time seriesquarterly data sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin 2009 and 2013and itcovered the period 1970-2013 was used for the analysis.
