The paper applies the ARDL bounds testing co-integration approach in investigating the long -run and short -run dynamics between monetary policy and economic growth. The results of the Bound test for conintegration show that there is no long-run relationship between growth rate of real GDP and monetary policy variables in the case of Nigeria. But, in the short run, broad money supply (M2) was found to be positively related to real GDP and the relationship is statically significant at 5% level. Similarly, Cash reserve ratio (CRR) and loan to deposit ratio (LDR) were found to have positive and negative impact on real GDP, respectively. And these findings are consistent with the theoretical expectations and lend empirical support to the monetarists view that ‗money matters at least in the short run‘. The implication of these findings is that, the monetary policy has an impact on real GDP in Nigeria, at least in the short run. Thus, the study concluded that the CBN can use its monetary policy to stabilize output and price in the short run. In line with these findings, the study recommended that the monetary authority should use the quantity-based anchor (M2) when it want to stabilize economic activities in the country.

JEL Classification: C51, E52, E58, F43 1.0 Introduction The investigation into the relationship between monetary policy variables and real macroeconomic variables is one of the oldest areas in the history of macroeconomic theory. This area has attracted the interest of many academicians, economists as well as policy makers even though it is one of those areas where extensive theoretical and empirical researches have been carried out. Quoting some pioneering researchers in this field, Bernanke and Gertler (1995) asserted that ―the impact of monetary policy on the real economic variables has been a contentious area of debate in macroeconomics‖. The main reason for this is that- there is a serious dispute among the vast majority of economists and even among the theoretical thinkers about the actual and magnitude of monetary policy impact on real economic activities and how it is transmitted. Some believe that money does not matter and monetary policy is ineffective of influencing real economic variables such as employment, and real output (economic growth). While others claim that money matters and monetary policy can influence real economic activities at least in the short run and again there are those in between these two opponents who believe that the link between money and output is actually reverse causation not the other way round. 1 Dutse International Journal of Social and Economics Research Vol. 1, No. 1 June 2018 Various schools of economic thoughts identify a number of different channels of transmission mechanism of monetary policy. The monetarists led by the Milton Friedman posit that money matters and argue that monetary policy is transmitted through either
