The Missing Tier: Mapping Local Government Budget Transparency in Nigeria
This publication maps local government budget transparency in Nigeria, showing that while budgets are prepared, approved, and funded across all 774 LGAs, most are not publicly accessible through official state platforms.
It highlights stark disparities across states, ranging from full disclosure to partial or no publication, and underscores how limited visibility of LGA budgets weakens accountability at the tier closest to citizens and constrains effective service delivery
