Abstract:
This study was conducted to examine the impact of electricity consumption on manufacturing sector growth in Nigeria covering the period of 1986 to 2020. The data for the study were sourced from World Bank’s Development Indicator and International Energy Agency (IEA). The study employed Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL), Johansen Co integration and Pairwise Granger Causality test. For the objectives, the outcome revealed that electricity consumption had a significant positive effect on contribution of manufacturing sector to Gross Domestic Product in Nigeria. Therefore, increase in electricity consumption led to increase in manufacturing sector growth in Nigeria within the study period. Also, electricity generation had a significant negative effect on contribution of manufacturing sector to Gross Domestic Product in Nigeria. Therefore, increase in electricity generation led to increase in manufacturing sector growth in Nigeria within the study period. Government should ensure that there is increase in electricity generation to boost electricity consumption towards enhancing the contribution of manufacturing sector to Gross Domestic Product so as to improve manufacturing sector growth in the Nigerian economy.
