Abstract
Despite the efforts of Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) at curbing illicit financial flows and related problems, the magnitude of the challenges experienced overwhelms her implementation capacities. This therefore necessitate this study by analysing the effect of illicit financial flows on economic growth in Nigeria. The data for study were extracted from the report of EFCC and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletins from the period of 2010 to 2019. The study data was based on secondary sources. A purposive sample technique was adopted for the study. Based on the OLS regression model, findings of the study revealed that illicit financial flow and convicted secured by EFCC have a positive and insignificant influence on economic growth. It is therefore, recommended that EFCC should increase the effort in prosecuting and secured convictions of offenders, because will strongly reduce illicit financial flow in Nigeria.
