Specifically, the measures of Oil and Non-Oil revenue, namely; Total Oil Revenue (TOR), Total Non-Oil Revenue (TNOR) and Total Revenue (TR) were analysed in relation Nigerian economy proxied Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP). In a bid to actualize the research objectives, data was collected from the secondary source of data (time series data), from the CBN statistical bulletin and Annual Report for the period 1994-2021’. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, followed by the correlation analysis in bids to ascertained the co-movement of the measures ONOR {TOR, TNOR and TR} in relation to the Nigerian economy proxied with RGDP and several diagnostics tests conducted in the bids to ascertain if the data are suitable for regression analysis with the aid of E-VIEW version 9. 0. It showed that; TOR with an associated p-value (sig. value) of 0.0000. This implies that TOR has a major significant effect on RGDP; TNOR with an associated p-value (sig. value) of 0.0097. This implies that TOR positively and significantly affects RGDP in Nigeria and TR with an associated p-value (sig. value) of 0.0000 in the multiple regression results. This shows that the impact of TR on RGDP is significant. The results show that the measurements of ONOR {TOR, TNOR and TR} used in this research has significant effects on the RGDP in Nigeria. Therefore, the study came to the conclusion that ONOR have a considerable effect on the expansion of the Nigerian economy.
