Background of the Study

Foreign aid plays a significant role in funding development projects in sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria. Gusau LGA, Zamfara State, has benefited from various donor-funded projects aimed at improving infrastructure, health, education, and agriculture (Tukur & Mohammed, 2023). However, the relationship between foreign aid and political governance in the region remains underexamined. This study will evaluate how foreign aid, particularly from international donors, influences governance practices, decision-making, and political stability in Gusau LGA, examining both the positive and negative outcomes of such aid on local political structures.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

While donor-funded projects have the potential to improve governance and public service delivery, there are concerns about their impact on political autonomy and accountability in local governments. In Gusau LGA, donor aid has been used to address several developmental challenges, but questions remain about how it affects local governance, political decision-making, and the overall political climate. This study aims to critically examine the relationship between foreign aid and political governance in Gusau LGA (Umaru & Sulaiman, 2023).
