Financial transparency is essential for attracting foreign investment, as it fosters trust and credibility among investors. In Bida LGA, financial transparency plays a crucial role in determining the level of investment that local businesses and the government can secure. With increasing interest in investing in Nigeria’s growing economy, foreign investors seek businesses and sectors that demonstrate financial integrity, good governance, and proper financial reporting practices. This study will examine the role of financial transparency in increasing foreign investment in Bida LGA and explore how transparent financial practices influence investor decision-making.
