Abstract

This descriptive research aims to evaluate the perceptions of academic staff regarding the factors impeding their success in obtaining both local and international grants within Nigerian tertiary education. Employing a sample size of 240 participants from six federal universities spanning diverse geopolitical zones, a multistage sampling technique was applied. A bespoke questionnaire, "Perception of Academic on Reasons Why Academic Staff of Nigerian Tertiary Education are not Wining Local and International Grants (PASRWNWLGQ)," was utilized for data collection. The instrument demonstrated high reliability with a coefficient of 0.86. Analysis involved descriptive statistics, yielding insights into various barriers including inadequate research proposal planning, limited awareness of grant opportunities, and challenges associated with online application procedures. The study highlights the urgent need for enhanced research funding in Nigerian tertiary institutions to address these impediments. Furthermore, findings illuminate the broader consequences, encompassing diminished research development, brain-drain, and weakened international rankings, alongside dwindling morale among academic staff. This study provides critical insights for policy makers and stakeholders seeking to bolster the research landscape in Nigerian tertiary education. Highlight: The study encompasses 240 participants from six federal universities in Nigeria, offering a comprehensive perspective on the challenges faced by academic staff in securing both local and international grants. The research instrument, "Perception of Academic on Reasons Why Academic Staff of Nigerian Tertiary Education are not Wining Local and International Grants (PASRWNWLGQ)," demonstrates a high level of reliability (coefficient of 0.86), ensuring robust data collection and analysis. The findings shed light on critical barriers, such as deficient research proposal planning, limited awareness of grant opportunities, and online application challenges, underscoring the pressing need for increased research funding in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The study also unveils far-reaching repercussions, including stunted research development, brain-drain, and a decline in international rankings, emphasizing the urgency of policy interventions to fortify the research landscape.

Abstract

This paper discussed barriers to investment in education in Nigeria. Secondary data were used in the paper. The secondary data were gathered from print materials and online publications. The paper identified the poor implementation of national policy on funding of education, subsidy payment, debt servicing, corruption, insecurity problems, fall in national revenue and revenue loss as barriers to investment in education in Nigeria. Based on these problems identified, the paper hereby recommended that government at every tier should implement the National Policy on education financing in Nigeria. The government should remove the subsidy and reinvest the funds in education, health and other sector.

The government should employ anti-corruption legal and regulatory instruments to fight corruption in the education sector. Government should improve the finance and accounts systems in the Ministry of Education to strengthen management and audit to improve accountability at national and district levels.

Abstract

The study examined Vice Chancellors and University Education Sustainability in Nigeria: Challenges and Way Forward. Vice Chancellors are major players and chief executive officers in the universities' administrations; hence their roles cannot be underestimated. The social and economic development of the universities depends on the job performance of the Vice-Chancellors. This paper critically looked at the concept of Vice-chancellors and the roles and functions of Vice-chancellors in the university system. The paper also examined factors that enhance the job performance of Vice-chancellors in the university system in Nigeria. This study attempts to provide an answer to the research question that says; how has the Vice Chancellors impacted University Education for Sustainability in Nigeria? The study employed an ex-post facto research method, using secondary data that were collected from print and online publications. Content analysis was the method of analysis. The paper established that the independence of Vice Chancellors, training and retraining, adequate funding, effective supervision and provisions of adequate working resources are the factors that will enhance Vice Chancellors' job performance and enable university education to be able to perform their roles in Nigerian society. Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations were made: The Federal Government of Nigeria and the state governments should provide adequate funds for university administrators, infrastructure facilities, adequate working resources, grant autonomy to universities and ensure effective training and retraining programmes and supervision. The suggested solution will enable the university administrators (Vice Chancellors among others) to be effective in the discharge of their roles in the universities and make university education perform its role of social and economic development.

Abstract

Purpose: This paper explores the importance of graduate tracking systems in Nigerian tertiary institutions and examines their implications for improving educational quality, institutional accountability, and workforce development. Specifically, it highlights how graduate databases can help institutions track alumni career outcomes and adapt to labor market demands. Research Methodology: The paper employs a review-based research design, analyzing scholarly works, policy documents, institutional reports, and publications on graduate tracking systems and employment outcomes. Thematic analysis is used to identify key themes such as curriculum development, accreditation processes, and employment trends. Results: The findings emphasize that effective graduate databases are essential for improving curriculum, supporting accreditation efforts, and fostering alumni engagement. These systems also help institutions assess their contribution to national development and improve students' employability. Conclusions: The paper concludes that without structured graduate databases, Nigerian institutions face challenges in aligning educational outputs with labor market needs. Graduate tracking systems are vital for enhancing data-driven decision-making, accountability, and the relevance of education. Limitations: The study is limited by its review-based nature and does not involve primary data collection or empirical research. Contribution: This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on enhancing higher education practices in Nigeria by advocating for the development of robust graduate tracking systems that improve institutional planning, curriculum effectiveness, and graduate employability.
