Abstract

---

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of rainfall variability and its impact on sustainable economic growth in Southwest Nigeria. The study combines geospatial and statistical approaches to examine the relationship between rainfall patterns and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) within a specific range of years. Data for the study were sourced from secondary sources. The rainfall data was obtained from the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet) while data on the Gross Domestic Product ((GDP) was obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics. Randomized data was utilized to conduct the analysis, ensuring unbiased and objective results. The findings confirmed a positive correlation between rainfall and sustainable economic development, thereby shedding light on the potential implications of rainfall variability on the region's socio-economic growth and provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders.

Keywords: Economy, Economic Growth, Rainfall and Sustainability.
