Abstract
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the usefulness of exchange control in correcting Nigeria's Balance of Payments deficits during the period 1967-1981. The paper consists of four parts. In part one, a general review of the legal framework and exchange control practices in the period is undertaken. Part two offers an appraisal of exchange control as a policy for balance of payments adjustment in Nigeria. In part three exchange control is compared with other balance of payments policies to determine whether or not the country can dispense with the control regulations . The summary and main conclusions of the paper are contained in part four.
