Secondary data from 1994 till 2022 and sourced from the annual report of the Nigerian Federal Inland Revenue Services was utilized for the study. The sourced data was estimated using the Vector Error Correction Model. The unit root test showed that all the variables were stationary at first difference and the Johansen Cointegration revealed a long run relationship among the variables.

The research, therefore, recommended that the government should ensure that tax funds are utilized for infrastructural and economic developmental objectives as it would facilitate Nigeria’s economic development.
