SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This study examines how information and communication technology (ICT) modulates the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth dynamics in Nigeria for the period 1993 -2018. The metric used to measure economic growth is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. ICT is measured by regular mobile cellular subscription penetration. The empirical evidence is based on the SPSS multiple linear regression model. This study finds a significant relationship between smartphone internet penetration and foreign direct investment (FDI) in economic growth dynamics within country-specific frameworks in Nigeria. The database searches criteria for literature selection focuses explicitly on the relevance of smartphone internet access penetration, foreign direct investment, and economic growth dynamics in developing economies.
