摘要：Econo mic transformation and industrialization nexus has gained currency in policy debates circles in Nigeria in the past decades especially since the return of democratic rule in 1999. This is because sustainable develo pment cannot be achieved without economic transformation that is skewed in favour of industrialization. The success stories of countries that have been able to transform their economies from agricultural to industrial and services based on the knowledge econo my lend credence to these debates. This is the motivation for this paper. The paper adopted econometric tools of co-integration and endogenous gro wth theory to investigate the role fiscal authorities should play to strengthen the transformation agenda. The results of this paper showed that in order to drive transformation agenda to the desired threshold in Nigeria, fiscal authorities need to increase the country's expenditure on education, transportation and communication infrastructure.
