Abstract

The removal of petrol subsidies in Nigeria has resulted in a notable escalation in the prices of goods and services, impacting both public and private sectors. This phenomenon's pervasive effects extend to tertiary institutions, which are particularly vulnerable due to the nature of their services. This research paper systematically examines the impact of subsidy removal on tertiary education in Nigeria. Employing a secondary data approach, information was sourced from both printed materials and online publications. The findings unequivocally demonstrate that the removal of subsidies has cast adverse ramifications on tertiary education, manifesting as amplified operational costs, elevated tuition fees, increased expenses for research initiatives, augmented outlays for infrastructure provisioning, and necessitated alterations in pedagogical delivery methods across diverse tertiary establishments nationwide. To address these challenges, the paper presents a recommendation for Federal and State governments to allocate a minimum of 20% of the monthly saved subsidy funds toward tertiary education investments countrywide, simultaneously advocating for heightened research funding.

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

Recently, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, confirmed at a National Assembly hearing in 2019 that he had been under pressure from indigenes of host communities insisting on producing the VCs of Federal Universities (Punch, 2022). The call by the host communities of the tertiary institution especially the Universities in Nigeria for their indigenous sons and daughters to be appointed as principal officers of the Federal and State tertiary institutions is a current problem facing University education in Nigeria. This paper examined the implications of the indigenization of principal officers or domestication of principal officers of the tertiary institution especially the Universities in Nigeria and suggested the way forward. Quantitative and quantitative data were used to provide empirical support to the various points raised in this paper. The paper concluded that poor international outlook, poor international rating, bad governance, under-development, discouragement of foreign academics, bad international image and less competition are the implications of the indigenization of principal officers or domestication of principal officers of the tertiary institution (Universities) in Nigeria. Based on this problem identified, the paper recommended that among other things, the Federal and State government should grant autonomy to all public Universities to allow Universities management to run the system based on merit and devoid of political influence.

Abstract

This paper examined the concept of out-of-school children in Nigeria, the factors responsible for out-of-school children, the social implications of out-of-school children and suggested way forward. Secondary data were used in the paper. The data were sourced from print and online publications. The paper identified causes of out-of-school children in Nigeria to include; poor funding of education, corruption, poor implementation of the Child Rights Act, insecurity problems, lack of political will to address the problems, high rate of poverty, and high fertility rate. The paper also concluded that the social implications of out-of-school children include security challenges, shortage of skilled manpower in future, bad international image, high levels of illiteracy and high socio-economic and dependency issues. The paper recommended among other things that the federal, state and local governments should come up with programmes to address the problem of out-of-school children in Nigeria. Also, adequate funding should be allocated to the education sector at all levels of government.

Abstract

This paper discussed stress management strategies for academic staff of tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Both secondary and primary data were employed. Data was collected from print materials and online publications. This study reveals that excess workload, lack of instructional materials, inadequate infrastructural facilities, exorbitant work demands, conflicting roles, pressure towards conformity, job insecurity, strike actions, insecurity and students’ misbehavior are causes of stress among academic staff in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Consequently, studies of psychological stress hamper environmental events that put people’s ability to cope or individual responses to events that elicit negative affect. In this article, the definition of stress does not include psychiatric disorders linked to stress but is limited to the academic environment. To address these, the paper recommended among other things that the tertiary institutions’ administrators should ensure that capacity building on stress management is organized for the academic staff. This will help to reduce stressors and enhance resilience skills and coping mechanisms among them.
