EXPENDITURE CONTROL IN PUBLIC CONSTRUCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC BUILDING, FEDERAL CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, FCDA: A MANAGERIAL APPROACH
ABSTRACT
The conflict of competing stakes on limited available resources is obviously the
greatest challenge confronting the government of developing countries, thus, the quest for
effective management of public spending. Nigeria has as a panacea to economic
predicaments employed measures and to great extent adopted the World Bank reform tool
of Structural Adjustment. Better management of public spending including investment
programming are being sought through a process by which programmes are identified,
prepared, approved and implemented. Strengthening this process using the management
tools of monitoring and evaluation for control should lead to expenditure programmes
that are appropriately sized and better attuned to the overall development goals.
As construction works progress, most clients, especially Government Ministries,
Parastatals and institutions are compelled either to pay unbudgeted increase in building
project costs or abandon such projects.
This research seek to modestly contribute to identification of process of
implementation of public building construction programmes of the Department of Public
Building, Federal Capital Development Authority. The emphasis will be on management
of building construction programmes of the authority to ascertain the effectiveness or
otherwise of management of expenditure control.
The key to better management of public spending, including investment
programming, lies in the process by which programmes are identified, prepared,
approved and implemented. Strengthening this process should lead to expenditure
programmes that are a more appropriate size and are more attuned to overall development
goals.
Developing countries including Nigeria have a panacea to economic predicaments
employed measures and to greater extent adopted wholesale World Bank reform tools
such as Structural Adjustment, Lending Operations, Technical Assistance and Country
Economic and Sector Works.
As construction works progress, most clients, especially government ministries,
Parastatals and Institutions are compelled to either to pay unbudgeted increases in
building projects costs or abandon such projects outrightly.
This research seek to modestly contribute to identification of process of
implementation of public construction programme with the sole intent of examining
expenditure control. The Direct emphasis will be on effective management of public
expenditure in public constructions programmes of the Federal Capital Development
Authority by means of Expenditure Control.
