The result from bound testing reveal the presence of cointegrating relationship between domestic investment and the included variables. The empirical evidence demonstrates that domestic investment in Nigeria is determined by inflation, real interest and exchange rate, government spending, electric power consumption, savings, per capita income, credit to private sector and the interaction between government spending and oil price in the short-run; and inflation, interest and exchange rate, government spending, internal conflict, savings, and interaction between oil price and government spending in the long-run. The results also suggest that the impact of increase in interest, inflation and exchange rate is statistically different from their decrease. In essence, this study recommends the increase in government capital expenditure, savings, diversification of the economy, reduction of lending interest rate, maintenance of investment-friendly inflation rate, and conflicts control.

Introduction Both in developed and developing economies, it has been argued that investment plays a very significant role in the functioning of an economy and the expansion of productive capacity in the economy (Ghassemi, 1996). In that, it drives growth and triggers development (Ojong, Ogar, & Arikpo, 2018), raise the level of employment/provide more jobs, promote production techniques, and enhance income level and standard of living (Meyer & Sanusi, 2019; Ali & Shaheen, 2016; Ojong, Ogar, & Arikpo, 2018). Investment is also one of the most important weapons for poverty alleviation. That is, as investment increases, resulting to higher growth and lower unemployment, lots of opportunities is 1 Department of Economics, IBB University Lapai, Nigeria; Email: [email protected] 2 Department of Economics, University of Jos, Nigeria; Email: [email protected] 3 Department of Economics, IBB University, Lapai, Nigeria; Email: [email protected] 1 opened to the poor to improve their income and livelihoods (Agbarakwe, 2019).

    SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2016 INTERNATIONAL Gambia’s longtime ruler refuses to bow out, demands fresh polls Investigations reveal string of ‘unacceptable errors’ BANJUL: Gambia’s leader of some 22 years Yahya Jammeh announced late Friday he would no longer accept defeat in recent elections, plunging the West African country into turmoil with a demand for fresh polls. Investigations into the December 1 vote have revealed a string of “unacceptable errors” on the part of electoral authorities, Jammeh said in a speech broadcast on state television, adding that he would no longer concede to opponent Adama Barrow. “In the same way that I accepted the results faithfully believing that the Independent Electoral Commission was independent and honest and reliable, I hereby reject the results in totality,” he said. “Let me repeat: I will not accept the results based on what has hap- pened,” he added, warning Gambians not to take to the streets to protest his decision.
