The study adopted a co-integration approach and also conducted a unit root test. The study showed that monetary policy variables included in the model has combined significant impact on GDP in Nigeria. In addition, the core finding of this study showed that exchange rate and money supply have positive and statistically significant relationship with GDP in Nigeria. However, inflation rate has negative impact on GDP and a non-statistically significant relationship with GDP, interest rate has positive and statistically insignificant relationship with GDP. The results from the study proved that monetary policy have a significant relationship with GDP. In conclusion, based on the outcome of the Study.
