Institute of Education, University of Benin.https://repository.crawforduniversity.edu.ng/handle/123456789/1406Education funding plays a critical role in achieving quality education in Nigeria, yet the sector continues to face challenges related to inadequate budgetary allocation, poor fund management, and infrastructural deficits. This study examines the relationship between funding and the quality of education in Nigeria, highlighting how insufficient financial investment affects teaching standards, learning outcomes, and access to educational resources. It also explores the disparities in funding across different regions and levels of education. The paper argues that sustainable and transparent funding mechanisms are essential for improving educational quality and achieving national development goals. Recommendations include increased government investment, enhanced accountability in fund utilisation, and the promotion of public-private partnerships to support the education sector.enBook chapter
