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.

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.

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 quest by the federal government of Nigeria to achieve quality tertiary education in line with global best practices established some agencies and commissions to help in quality assurance in the various higher institutions such National Universities Commission [NUC], the National Commission for Colleges of Education [NCCE] and the National Board for Technical Education [NBTE]. These regulatory bodies in the bid to attain internal quality assurance directed various institutions under their watch to establish departments or units of quality assurance to help strengthen the internal quality assurance programme of the regulatory bodies. These internal quality assurance units since taking off in some higher institutions, especially in the public universities in Nigeria have been facing some challenges. This paper discussed the problems hindering the effective service delivery of quality assurance units or departments in public tertiary institutions. The paper depends on secondary data and primary data. These data were sourced from both online and print published and unpublished works of literature. Some of these problems facing the quality assurance directorate/ units in Nigerian tertiary institutions include inadequate funding, inadequately trained quality assurance officers, and poor capacity-building programme, inadequate infrastructural facilities and working tools. To ensure effective quality assurance units in Nigerian tertiary institutions, the following have been suggested: adequate funding, employment of adequate quality assurance officers, provision of adequate infrastructural facilities, working tools and effective capacity development programme.
