This study was designed to investigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuation on the oil export performance in Nigeria from the year 1980 to 2018, and in the research, the use of secondary time series data was adopted. The research focuses on determining the cause and impact of exchange rate fluctuation and inflation rate on the oil export price. Its focus on this objective is to determine the relationship trend between exchange rate, inflation rate and oil export price. The unit root test was used to check for the order of integration; the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag Method (ARDL) was used for the short run regression; the ARDL bounds test was used to determine if there is a long run relationship. Some suggestions and recommendations were made based on the findings including the fact that the government should create incentive such as loans subsidy to small scale industries, thereby encouraging them to process domestic goods into processed goods that will help boost our export.
