Background of the Study
Bauchi State is one of the regions in Nigeria that benefits from revenue generated by the oil and gas industry. Public financial management (PFM) in the oil and gas sector is crucial to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficient use of the resources generated. However, challenges such as corruption, mismanagement, and inadequate oversight have plagued the sector, leading to inefficiencies and the misallocation of funds. This study will assess the effectiveness of public financial management practices in the oil and gas sector in Bauchi State, with a focus on how these practices affect revenue generation, allocation, and utilization.
