Background of the Study
Agriculture is a critical sector in Nigeria’s economy, employing a large portion of the population and contributing significantly to GDP. Governmental accounting practices play a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient allocation and utilization of agricultural subsidies. In Bida Local Government Area (LGA), Niger State, subsidies are provided to support farmers by reducing the costs of inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and equipment. However, inefficiencies in subsidy management, coupled with poor accounting practices, often result in underutilization and diversion of these funds. This study examines the impact of governmental accounting practices on the effective utilization of agricultural subsidies in Bida LGA, with the aim of improving agricultural productivity and economic growth.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the government’s efforts to subsidize agricultural inputs, many farmers in Bida LGA continue to face challenges in accessing these resources. This issue is largely due to weak accounting practices, including poor record-keeping, lack of transparency, and mismanagement of funds. This study investigates how governmental accounting practices affect the utilization of agricultural subsidies in Bida LGA.
