Public Finance and Rural Development in Nigeria: Empirical Evidence from the Structural Equation Modeling

Abdulkadir Abdulrashid Rafindadi, Kondo Augustine Kondo · 2018 · Asian Economic and Financial Review

Summary. Public finance systems in rural Nigeria fail to effectively fund infrastructure and social amenities that improve quality of life. The study examined nine local government areas in Benue state and found that shared revenue arrangements between state and local governments create serious obstacles to financing rural development projects. The authors recommend restructuring public finance systems at the local government level to enable more efficient and prudent allocation of resources for rural development.
