The study makes use of ex-post facto research design. The study makes use of secondary data to achieve the set out objectives highlighted. Data was extracted from the Bulletin of CBN and NBS which covers the period of thirty four years from 1986 to 2019.

Government capital expenditure in education also is positively related to economic growth of Nigeria with statistical significance. The study concludes that, government expenditure in education is positive and significantly related to economic growth.
