The study investigated the effect of Manufacturing Output on Economic Growth in Nigeria. The study employed ex-post annual time-series data. The Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) estimation technique was used to establish the long run relationship among the variables. The study found evidence of cointegration among the variables. The study shown that Manufacturing Output only has short and long-run effects on the Economic Growth. Findings of the study revealed that manufacturing sector output has a positive and strong effect on economic growth in Nigeria. This is in line with economic a priori expectation of economic theories. As manifested from the findings of this study recommended collaboration between the major stakeholders of the manufacturing industries so as to increase the performance of the manufacturing sector for rapid economic growth and development.
