The Influence of Government Expenditure Transparency on Public Trust and Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Business Administration Perspective

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between transparency in government expenditure authorization and public trust and economic growth in Nigeria. The study aims to achieve three primary objectives: first, to investigate how the level of accessibility of budgetary information influences public trust, to examine the extent to which public debt transparency influences public trust in government institutions and to analyze the relationship between transparency in disclosing revenue sources and its impact on public trust with a focus on the federal university system in South West Nigeria.. The study's population comprises bursary staff across the six federal universities in south west Nigeria. A sample size of 385 participants was selected using purposive sampling methods. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were employed, including surveys, interviews, and document analysis. The response rate of questionnaires varies across universities, with a total response rate of 96%, indicating a robust and representative sample for analysis.
