This study seeks to examine the pass‐through effect of monetary policy tools on economic growth in Nigeria using quarterly time series data from Q12008 to Q42018. The study employed Augmented Dickey Fuller's unit root test, lag selection criteria, and impulse response function under Toda‐Yamamoto approach to examine the pass‐through effect of monetary policy tools on economic growth. The summary of the results is that, the dynamism in monetary policy tools through money supply remains inconsistent and the changes (either increase/decrease) in these elements could dampen down availability of credit to core private sectors thus hampering growth and development. This study therefore recommends; that monetary authority takes proactive measures to ensure sound and robust commercial banks that can facilitates substantial funds to core private sector to boost productivity of the economy. This can be achieve through close monitoring of banks and ensuring full implementations of indirect monetary policy tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
