Produktbeschreibung
Accountability and transparency are indispensable pillars of good governance that enables the society to achieve congruence between public policy and its implementation. This book on public resources management in Nigeria gives a lucid insight on how public funds deployed for the execution of seven gas-fired power projects meant to improve electric power supply in the country were utilized. The study of the National Integrated Power Projects reveals that the culture of accountability was jettisoned by government officials saddled with the responsibility to execute the projects and the use of wide discretionary powers became the norm. Hence, at the end, over $13 billion was expended on the power projects without a significantly impact on power supply in the county. Students, academics and policy makers who are interested in the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty in developing countries will find this book invaluable and a must read.
