The study examines whether external debt actually promotes economic growth in developing countries using Nigeria as a case study. Annual time series data was gathered from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical bulletin and Debt Management Office from 1981 to 2010. The data were fitted into the regression equation using econometric technique of Multiple Regression Analysis. The findings from the error correction method show that external debt has contributed positively to the Nigerian economy. The study recommends that government should ensure economic and political stability and external debt should be acquired largely for economic reasons rather than social or political reasons.
