Purpose: The study examines internally generated revenue (IGR) in Delta State as a tool for infrastructural development. The Ordinary Least Squares was used to analyze the impact of internally generated revenue on infrastructural development in Delta State; the data used covered the period between 2008 to 2018.
Methodology: The data was generated from a combination of publishing materials and data from Delta State Ministry of Finance
Findings: The study findings indicate that the internally generated revenue has an insignificant impact on government expenditure on health. This indicates that the fund generated internally within the state has not improved the spending on the health infrastructure. On the contrary, on education infrastructure, the result indicates that the internally generally revenue by the Delta State Government has a significant impact on government expenditure on education infrastructure. This result indicates that the internally generated revenue from Delta State has improved the money spent on the educational infrastructure.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that the government should spend at least 40 percent of the internally generated revenue in financing the health sector through improved budgetary provision. This will improve the development process in Delta State. The Delta State government should put in place measures to improve the total money generated internally by levying and collating appropriate taxes.
The study examines the Nigerian government's administrative and financial reforms. The goal is to examine the impact of various Programs and policies implemented in Nigeria, as well as the influence of these reforms on the country's public sector. This is critical in light of the evident professional shift among government and personnel on the one hand and among professionals on the other. In doing the research, this publication used an exploratory approach. The study's findings show that there is a lot of literature on public sector reorganization, but there isn't much on administrative and financial reform Programs in the public sector. As a result, the study suggests that reform Program is critical to guaranteeing efficient service delivery in the Nigerian public sector and national growth. The study suggests that government Programs and policies be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure alignment with national goals, mobilization of necessary resources for Program execution and implementation, and coordination among all levels of government and professionals.
