Background of the Study
Student loans are an essential form of financial support for students pursuing higher education in Nigeria. The Nigeria Education Bank (NEB) is responsible for disbursing student loans to eligible candidates, providing them with the financial resources needed to complete their education. Public sector accounting plays a crucial role in ensuring that student loan funds are properly allocated, disbursed, and managed to prevent misuse and ensure fairness in distribution (Adebayo & Nwoke, 2023).
Despite the importance of student loans, concerns have been raised about the transparency and efficiency of the loan disbursement process. Issues such as delays in disbursement, mismanagement of funds, and inadequate oversight have hindered the effectiveness of the student loan system. This study investigates how public sector accounting practices influence the monitoring and management of student loan disbursements, focusing on the Nigeria Education Bank as a case study.
Statement of the Problem
The management and disbursement of student loans in Nigeria have faced several challenges, including inadequate financial reporting, lack of transparency, and inefficiencies in the allocation process. These challenges undermine the intended goals of providing accessible education for all Nigerians. Public sector accounting practices are critical in addressing these issues by ensuring proper tracking, monitoring, and reporting of student loan disbursements. This study examines the role of public sector accounting in ensuring that student loan funds are managed and disbursed effectively.

- Strengthening public sector accounting practices will improve the efficiency and fairness of student loan disbursements in Nigeria.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on the role of public sector accounting in the disbursement of student loans by the Nigeria Education Bank.
