Abstract


The development of lower and upper basic education in Nigeria is of significant interest to every government, with the aim of achieving the sustainable development goals of the millennium. This study aimed to assess the effects of a dual budgetary system on the management of SUBEB building construction in selected local education authorities of Bauchi State. A survey research design was employed, and the study's population included all LEAs in Bauchi state. To sample five LEAs in the state, a simple random sampling technique was used. The primary instrument for data collection involved a documentary analysis of budgetary allocations in the state, which encompassed both recurrent and capital expenditures. Mean and percentages were employed to address the research questions. The study's findings revealed that recurrent expenditures outweighed capital expenditures, indicating that a significant portion of the budget was allocated to recurrent expenses, while capital expenditures received comparatively less funding. The researcher recommends an improvement in capital expenditures to adequately provide essential teaching and learning resources, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the available teaching and non-teaching workforce within the education sector.
