The analysis of the data obtained was done with the Ordinary Least Square OLS method. The results from the study showed that variations in interest rate significantly affect the level of stock market capitalization, thereby suggesting that there is a significant relationship between interest rate variation and the level of stock market capitalization in Nigeria for the period under study.
