ABSTRACT
The important of education in boosting the manpower of an economy, cannot be overemphasized. Educational sector has been destroyed and put in the dustbin position due to poor budgeting education to it by state and federal government to schools in Nigeria. There should be a considerable increase in the variety of services that government in Nigeria are expected to provide in their area of budgeting. Government undoubtedly is expected to provide all necessary social and infrastructural facilities needed by schools in Nigeria at affordable or no cost. For the government to discharge its responsibilities, there is a need for proper planning. Planning in the context of awarding a reasonable budget allocation for school in Nigeria. This study sees to address poor budgetary allocation to schools in Nigeria, that influences facility planning at all level. It is noted that, issue of budget allocation has not been taken seriously in the country, despite the fact that the government prepared budget annually. They see it as an event and administrative routine exercise and never show recourse to it. This is why funding of education in the country is usually capital intensive and requires effective budgeting for credible financial allocation to schools in Nigeria. In recognition of huge financial involvement required for effective administration of a nation educational system, the United Nation Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) advocate a budgetary allocation of 26% of nation annual budget for funding of schools. This target has not yet been attended in Nigeria, whereas the UNESCO 26% budgetary allocation for education was simple, the benchmark that may be regarded as minimum, based on prioritization of demands or expectations of other sectors of the economy to carry out their services to the nation are not met. This necessitates the need for adequate funding of schools in Nigeria. For this to be realized, there must be an effective budgeting plan to enhance a reasonable annual budgetary allocation for schools at all level in Nigeria.
