A six stochastic equations econometric model was postulated for the purpose and time series data for the period of 1995-2018 was utilized. Model parameters were estimated by Two Stage Least Square Estimation technique after first differencing and logarithmic transformation of the original variables. The results indicated that effects of governance in on the economy were reflected in three equations of the model .These were the consumption. Export and exchange rate equations. As regards foreign aid its effect s were noted in their import and Gross Domestic product equations in the case of foreign Direct investment the results indicated a negative effect in the Capital formation equation.
