ABSTRACT
This study evaluates, budget and budgetary control, its
economic transformation to Abia State Government. Besides the operators of
budget in the state are government workers, bringing us to the human aspect of
budgetary process. The question remains to what extent is budgeting used in
controlling the activities of the government considering the political scenario
in Abia State and Nigeria in general. Another problem is economic recession and
technological innovations, which had affected the revenue generating mechanism
of the state. Using Ministry of Finance Abia State as a case s.tudy, fifty (50)
questionnaires were distributed among the staff of different grade level,
thirty (30) questionnaires were returned. In the analysis of data,
categorization of each questions were used to appropriately reflect the
hypothesis tested with the application of chi-square. In my findings, Abia
State Government prepares its budget on yearly basis. The state budget provides
a plan of action for the various arms of government to participate with six
months review. I recommend that any project not captured in the rolling plan
(budget) of the year should not be listed in the capital expenditure programme
by the executive. Also all requests for extra budgetary expenditure should be
brought within the framework of accountability, needs and provisional
supplementary budget.
