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.
