1.1 Introduction
Government Expenditure is a crucial instrument that enables the government to control the economy of a nation. Economists have been well aware of the effects in promoting economic growth. The general view is that government expenditure notably on social and economic infrastructure can be growth enhancing although the financing of such expenditure to provide essential infrastructural facilities including transport, electricity, telecommunication, water and sanitation, waste disposal, education and health can be growth retarding (Olukayode, 2009).
