Background of the Study
Managing education budgets effectively is essential for ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently for the development of educational infrastructure and programs. Wukari Local Government Area (LGA) has faced challenges in managing its education budgets due to manual processes that often lead to errors and inefficiencies.
