Public Finance - Economics (Senior Secondary)

Every government needs money to build roads, pay workers and defend the nation. This course explains how administrations collect and spend money to manage the economy. You will study the objectives of public finance, fiscal policy instruments and sources of government revenue such as taxes, royalties and grants. We examine the principles of taxation, tax incidence and the effects of public expenditure. You will also learn about government budgets, public debts, revenue allocation and the specifics of resource control in Nigeria. Understanding these concepts helps you make sense of daily news about national budgets and tax policies. You will see exactly how the spending decisions of the government affect business costs, inflation and the price of goods in the market. This knowledge is useful for planning personal finances, preparing for university studies in economics or business, and understanding the economic realities of Nigeria. It equips you to evaluate political promises about the economy and understand how public debt impacts the future of the nation. By the end of this class, you will be able to explain the main instruments of fiscal policy and identify the different ways governments raise funds. You will know how to apply the principles of taxation, calculate tax incidence, and analyse the economic effects of public expenditure. Furthermore, you will understand the structure of a government budget, the causes of public debt, and the formulas used for revenue allocation across the states of Nigeria. This ensures you are fully prepared to answer any related questions in the JAMB UTME and WASSCE. This course is specifically for senior secondary school students preparing for their final economics examinations. However, the clear explanations make it highly beneficial for first-year university students who need a strong foundation in the principles of macroeconomics. Anyone interested in understanding how the Government Of Nigeria manages public wealth will also find the content practical and easy to follow. We strip away complex theories to give you only the exact facts you need to pass your exams and understand the economy.
