Background of the Study
State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are important players in Nigeria's economy, often responsible for providing essential public services and contributing to national development. However, many SOEs in Nigeria have been criticized for poor financial transparency, which leads to inefficiencies, corruption, and public distrust. This study evaluates the level of financial transparency in state-owned enterprises operating in Wukari LGA and investigates the impact of transparent financial practices on their operational performance and public perception.
