In order to accomplish the set out objectives of this study, two research hypotheses (Ho1 - Ho4) were formulated which were tested via a number of analytical techniques. These are the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) Unit Root Test and the ordinary least squares regression test. These tests we re carried out with the aid of e - views statistical software package. Based on the results gotten, the null forms of all the hypotheses were rejected while the alternate forms were accepted.
