Abstract
This study examines the impact of government expenditure on agricultural productivity in Nigeria, focusing on the extent to which public spending influences output in the agricultural sector. Given agriculture's critical role in food security, employment, and economic diversification, understanding the relationship between fiscal policy and agricultural performance is vital. The reseach utilizes time _series data to analyze trends in government expenditure and agricultural output,employing econometric methods to determine causality and correlation. Findings suggest that targeted and consistent investment in agriculture particularly in infrastructure, research,subsidies, and rural development has a significant positive effect on productivity. However, challenges such as corruption, policy inconsistency, and inadequate funding limit the full potential of government interventions. The study concludes with policy recommendations to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of government spending in driving sustainable agricultural growth in Nigeria.
