Background of the Study

Rural electrification is a vital part of Gombe LGA’s development agenda, aimed at improving the living standards of its rural communities. Budgetary allocations play a central role in funding rural electrification projects, but the effectiveness of these allocations depends largely on the practices surrounding budget preparation, approval, and execution. Public sector accounting systems are instrumental in ensuring that budgetary resources are effectively allocated, used efficiently, and monitored throughout the implementation of rural electrification projects.

This study examines the budgetary allocation practices for rural electrification projects in Gombe LGA, with a focus on how public sector accounting standards affect the planning, allocation, and execution of these projects.

Statement of the Problem

Despite efforts to improve access to electricity in rural Gombe LGA, rural electrification projects often face challenges, such as inadequate funding, misallocation of resources, and delays in implementation. These challenges can often be attributed to weaknesses in budgetary allocation practices and public sector accounting systems. This study aims to evaluate the impact of current budgetary allocation practices on the effectiveness of rural electrification projects in Gombe LGA.
