<p>This study considers the effect of defense spending on income growth in Nigeria. The results show that defense spending adversely affects income growth in the short run and the long run. Education spending, health spending, transport and communication service spending, internal security spending and electric power consumption have short-run and long-run growth impacts on income in Nigeria. Also, the armed forces personnel proportion of the labour force impacted positively on income.
