Therefore, this study examined the implementation mechanism of ombudsman and conflict resolution in the southwestern Nigerian university. The population for the study comprised all the staff and students from the six federal universities in southwestern Nigeria. A sample of 300 staff and 300 students were selected from the three selected universities using simple random and disproportional sampling techniques. Three instruments were adopted for the study: Academic Staff Complaints Satisfactory Questionnaire (ASCSQ), Non Academic Staff Complaints Satisfactory Questionnaire (NASCSQ) and Students Complaints Satisfaction Questionnaire (STCSQ). Descriptive statistics was used to answer the two research questions raised for the study. The results reveals that the way the sampled universities handle complaints could be said to be in orderly manner and that students have good perception about how the complaints is being handled. The study recommends that Nigerian universities should put in place an Ombudsman office that will handle disputes among students and staff independently and provide a preventive mechanism that will not allow the emergence of complaints from staff.

Abstract

This study investigates the persistent issue of inadequate funding in Nigerian public universities, highlighting the implications for both the quality of education and university administration. The research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study methodology, focused on analyzing existing literature, official reports, and interviews with university administrators and stakeholders. The findings reveal that inadequate funding results in a range of issues including project delays and cancellations, reduced quality of service, operational difficulties, faculty staff exodus, and the inaccessibility of education for some students. The study identifies several innovative strategies for addressing these challenges, such as attracting donations, setting up university business ventures, launching new market-driven courses, introducing reasonable charges for university facilities, investing in securities markets, and strengthening alumni associations. These strategies aim to generate additional revenue to complement government grants. The research highlights the critical need for university administrators to adopt these innovative funding approaches to mitigate the impacts of government funding shortfalls and ensure the continued provision of quality education. The implications for policy and practice suggest that universities must not only depend on government allocations but also create self-sustaining financial models that can support educational development. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term effectiveness of these innovative funding strategies and explore their application in diverse Nigerian university settings.

Abstract

The primary form of entertainment of children in the 20th century was telling stories, and many grandparents and parents managed to form bonds with the kids via this storytelling.  However, animations have supplanted the custom of telling stories. Hence, this study investigated the types of animation resources available for teaching and influence of animation resources on learning outcome of pre-nursery school children in Osun State.  The study's population comprised 7,393 teachers employed in private primary school across the 30 Local Government Areas and one Area Council of Osun State.  The study sampled 180 respondents across the private primary schools across the three senatorial districts of the state.  Questionnaire titled Animation and Pre-Nursery Children Learning Outcome Questionnaire (APNCLOQ) with reliability co-efficient of 0.93 was used to elicit responses from respondents.  The study provided answers and tests for one research question and one hypothesis.  The study found indigenous animations to be available while media and computer animations are not available in pre-nursery schools in Osun State.  The study concluded that children should be exposed to, and guided to watch instructive animated cartoons rather than violent ones.  Integrating indigenous animation into pre-nursery school programs is recommended for both educators and schools is recommended.
