INTRODUCTION

1.1       BACKGROUND OF STUDY

            The federal ministry of finance was established in 1958 by the finance (control and management) ordinance, to replace the finance department.  The ordinance conferred on the ministry the responsibility for the control and management of the public finance of the federation.  In the 1080, attempts were made to re-organize the finance ministry either by existing some of its departments or ceding others to it.  For example, in 1980 Budget office became an extra Ministerial Department under the executive office of the president and headed by a special Adviser to the president on Budget matters from 1987, the Budget office functioned once again under the ministry of finance and was surprised by its own merged with the ministry of National planning to form the office of Budget and planning in the presidency under ministry of state.  Then in 1991, the Budget office was excised again from the ministry of budget and planning and returned to the ministry of finance where it is to date.
