Therefore, the study outcomes would be beneficial to corporate bodies; stakeholders; financial institution which further identified the suitable Islamic micro finance factors such as corporate image, perceived value that considered in the research as factors that could determine Islamic micro finance acceptability in Kano State of Nigeria.

The insights on the long run relationship amongst money supply and government revenues are of significant importance for monetary-fiscal policy formulation in a developing country like Nigeria. Taking into account the vital importance of these two variables, we empirically analyzed the long-run relationships and dynamic interactions between the money supply (broad money M2) and government revenues in Nigeria using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach. The study spans the period 1970 to 2010. From the results, it is evident that there is the existence of a long run relationship between money supply and revenues when money supply is made the dependent variable. When revenue was made the dependent variable, no evidence of a long run relationship was found. This indicates that changes in government revenues in the past have significantly affected the money supply as macroeconomic indicator in the country economy. The estimated coefficient of revenues has a positive and significant impact on money supply. A 1% increase in revenues leads to approximately 0.96% increase in the Money supply at long run. The sign of the short-run dynamic impacts of these variables are significant and have the correct sign. The error correction mechanism (ECM) is estimated as - 0.17 and -0.28%, this means that government revenue and money supply have significant short term effect.

This paper investigates the effectiveness of monetary-fiscal policies interaction on price and output growth in Nigeria. The dynamic correlations of variables have been captured by the analyses of impulse response and variance decomposition. From innovation analyses, the results suggest that the policy variables money supply and government revenue have more positive impact on price and economic growth in Nigeria specifically in the long run, thus some time with lag. Although monetary and fiscal policy variables have a dominant effect on economic activity, it is clear from this study that economic activity is dominated by its own dynamics in most of the periods. The estimates presented in this paper suggest that both monetary and fiscal policy exert greater impact on real GDP and inflation in Nigeria. Overall, it is evident that the impact of policy is sorely depending on the policy variable selected, although some policy variables are considered to be more beneficial to the social and economic development.
