The purpose of the paper therefore is to investigate the relationship between macroeconomic variables and stock market performance in Nigeria. Using data from Nigerian Stock Exchange fact books and Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin which denote secondary data analysis, the effect of macroeconomic variable on stock market performance in Nigeria was examined. The regression results showed a strong relationship between macroeconomic variables and stock market performance in Nigeria.
