Therefore, comprehending the factors that contribute to economic growth is essential for steering an economy in the correct direction. The economic literature has identified institutional quality and government expenditure as factors that drive economic growth. This study specifically examines the impact of government expenditure and institutional quality on economic growth. The study employed the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method to analyse time series data from 1990 to 2022. The findings indicate that government spending has a substantial and favourable effect on economic growth. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated that the presence of institutions had a substantial and favourable impact on the economic development of Nigeria. According to these findings, the study suggests that government spending should be consistently increased, but this should be accompanied with fiscal discipline through the execution of the regulatory framework of the Nigerian government.

The study among others recommended that Building anti-corruption agencies' capacities through continuous training and re-training programs and international cooperation will block a haven to corruption and its assets, and it will enhance global combat against corruption. The effectiveness of any recovery, confiscation and asset forfeiture legal regime depends on institutional capacity and funding.","PeriodicalId":517493,"journal":{"name":"NG Journal of Social Development","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140505095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
