Background of the Study
Agricultural mechanization is a critical factor in enhancing agricultural productivity and economic development in rural areas. In Jega LGA, Kebbi State, the introduction and utilization of modern farming equipment can significantly improve crop yield, reduce labor costs, and enhance food security. Public sector accounting plays a crucial role in ensuring that financial resources allocated for agricultural mechanization are used efficiently. The accuracy of budgeting, proper allocation of funds, and transparent reporting are key elements that influence the success of agricultural mechanization programs. This study aims to assess the role of public sector accounting in facilitating agricultural mechanization in Jega LGA, focusing on how financial management practices support the acquisition and deployment of agricultural machinery.

Despite the government’s focus on agricultural mechanization, Jega LGA has faced challenges in successfully implementing mechanization programs due to inefficiencies in public sector accounting. Problems such as delayed fund disbursement, inadequate budgeting, and poor financial oversight have hindered the effective use of allocated resources for mechanization. This study will investigate how public sector accounting practices influence the success of agricultural mechanization in Jega LGA.
