This was aimed at ascertaining how the development of the Nigerian Stock Exchange has stimulate the inflow of foreign direct investment to Nigerian businesses. The after effect research design was adopted to examine the dependent and independent variables in retrospect. Historical data spanning 1985 to 2018 was collated and estimated employing the Engle Granger error correction technique. The empirical results indicate that market capitalization and value of deals in the exchange exert a positive impact on foreign direct investment inflows to Nigeria. Although, further observations indicate that only market capitalization exert a statistically significant impact on foreign direct investment inflows to Nigeria. Furthermore, it emerged that all share index is nagative and has a statistically invalid impact on foreign direct investment inflows in Nigeria. The study concludes that market capitalization and value of deals which are a measures of stock market development stimulates foreign direct investment inflows to Nigeria. The study recommends the pursuit of policies of stability to ensure the attraction and retention of capital from overseas.
