Abstract

This paper examines the issue of Democratic governance and participatory budgeting in the context of their relevance, challenges and implications for the public sector finances and/or public spending and, the masses in Nigeria. It specifically focuses on the Nigerian experience/situation. The necessary interconnectedness among these concepts was identified and examined vis-à-vis the implications of such affinities for the people’s ability to understand where the ultimate powers over public policies in these respects abound.
