ABSTRACT:– In the light of the fact that the government of Nigeria adopted various exchange rate measures and regimes in order to improve the output and stimulate economic growth, yet the output performance in the country is below expected desire. Therefore, this study is set out specifically to examine the impact of exchange rate volatility on economic growth in Nigeria. The study made use of ARDL co integration and Error Correction Model to capture the stated objective. The results revealed that there is existence of co integration among the variables. The findings also exhibited significant impact of export on Gross Domestic Product while import is insignificant both in the short and the long run. The study established insignificant positive relationship between exchange rate volatility and economic growth in Nigeria. Based on these findings, government of the country should diversify the economy so as to improve on export and to mitigate over dependence on oil and gas sector of the economy as well as reducing import. Also monetary authorities should embark on policies that would ensure stability of the exchange rate for a sustainable economic growth in Nigeria.
