Abstract
As the world economy becomes more globalised foreign direct investment continues to gain more prominence as a form of international economic interactions and instrument of international transactions. African continent has seen a major inflow of foreign investment into the region over the years and Nigerian is one of the major beneficiary of such inflows, despite the fact that Nigeria is one of the major recipients of foreign investment and the numerous policy directed towards the growth of the manufacturing sector, the sector has responded relatively low when compared to other sectors of the economy despite its huge potential. The study, thus, examined the effects of globalisation and Foreign Direct Investment on the Manufacturing sector output in Nigeria it used time series data from 1985 to 2016 which was estimated with the Johansen test of cointegration to estimate the long run relationship of the variables and the result showed that there is a long run relationship among the variables while Vector Error Correction Model revealed there is a slow speed of adjustment in the short run. One major finding is that Nigerian manufacturing sector output has negative effects with globalisation and Foreign Direct Investment has positive relationship with the manufacturing sector output. The study, thus, recommends that Government authorities should ensure proper policy framework are in place to discourage the negative effects of Globalisation on the Manufacturing sector and FDI should be channeled into the Manufacturing sector rather than the primary sector In other to boost the sector contribution to the growth of the economy.
