      abstract = {Over the past few years, Nigeria has been faced with a  series of policy changes and political instability that has  led to the incidence of capital flight from Nigeria. This  study sought to examine the contribution of Foreign Direct  Investment (FDI) and other selected variables to the  Agricultural productivity. The study made use of annual  time series of some macroeconomic variables and  agricultural productivity spanning the period1990 to 2016.  The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and  Multiple Regression Model. The data were further tested for  stationarity using the Augmented Dicky-Fuller unit root  test where it was ascertained that the entire hypothesized  variable were stationary and significant (p<0.01) at first  difference. The study revealed that the amount allocated to  the agricultural sector declined steadily over the years  with the highest value in 2014. Similarly, the determinants  of agricultural productivity included exchange rate,  inflation rates, GDP, Government regime and per capita  arable land (ha). The study therefore recommends that  balanced exchange rate should be controlled for to  encourage FDI inflow into the country and funds disbursed  should be properly monitored and a system put in place to  ensure proper implementation of the purpose for which the  funds was disbursed by the Ministry of Agriculture.},
