Abstract

This research explores the nexus between training programs and the job performance of academic staff in Nigerian tertiary institutions, relying on secondary data gleaned from both print and online sources. Through a comprehensive review of publications, we discerned a pivotal relationship between consistent academic staff training and heightened job performance. Our findings underscore the positive impact of training on the effective implementation of teaching, research, and community service programs by academicians. The study's conclusion emphasizes the integral role played by ongoing training initiatives in shaping the performance landscape within tertiary institutions. Academic staff, when equipped with diverse skills through continual training, exhibit enhanced proficiency in executing their responsibilities across teaching, research, and community service realms. This research contributes valuable insights to the discourse on professional development within academic settings. In light of our discoveries, we advocate for the establishment of structured training programs tailored to the unique demands of academic roles. These initiatives, supported by continuous professional development and institutional backing, stand poised to elevate the overall performance of academic staff in Nigerian tertiary institutions. This paper serves as a call to action for educational institutions to prioritize training as a strategic investment in the advancement of higher education in Nigeria.

This paper discussed the contributions and problems militating against the development of Private universities in Nigeria. Adopting content analysis and elimination methods that were used for data selection. The paper used secondary data that were collected from print and online publications. The paper identified increment in access to university education, manpower development and production, development of research, community services, creation of employment opportunities and improvement in international ranking as contributions of private universities to the Nigerian economy. Problems of funding, shortage of modern infrastructure facilities, lack of access to funds and government support, low student enrolment, inadequate academic staff and insecurity problems are the problems militating against the development of Private universities in Nigeria. Based on this, the paper hereby recommended that the federal government should establish special intervention financial institutions for private universities across the country where they can secure long and short-term facilities with low interest. Private university managers should utilize their Alumni association to raise more funds and technical support. Private universities should explore the option of public-private partnerships to develop their infrastructure facilities.
