Abstract

The recent debate of research is the conflicting view with respect to public debt and empowerment of private sector as a driving force for the sustainability of the economy. Therefore this study was undertaken to evaluate the extent to which changes in public external debt and changes in private investment affect the agricultural growth. The result of the study showed that by increasing public external debt and decreasing domestic private investment the simulated data was higher compared to the baseline result implying that it supports the Keynesian view. By decreasing public external debt and increasing domestic private investment, the scenario simulated data, for agricultural growth were lower compared to the baseline implying that private investment alone cannot sustain agricultural growth in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that specialized development agencies should be set up with the aim of implementing and evaluating government policies on foreign external debt and domestic private investment.
