  • University Education Finance and Cost Sharing in Nigeria: Considerations for Policy Direction
    0 University Education Finance and Cost Sharing in Nigeria: Considerations for Policy Direction 1Maruff A. Oladejo, 2Gbolagade M. Olowo, & 3Tajudeen A. Azees 1Department of Educational Management, University of Lagos, Akoka, 2Department of Educational Foundations, Federal College of Education (Sp), Oyo 3Department of Curriculum & Instructions, Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo 0 1 Abstract Higher education in general and university education in particular is an educational investment which brings with it, economic returns both for individuals and society. Hence, its proper funding towards the attainment of its lofty goals should be the collective responsibility of every stakeholders. This paper therefore discussed university education finance and cost sharing in Nigeria. The concepts of higher education and higher education finance were examined, followed by the philosophical and the perspectives of university education in Nigeria. The initiative of private funding of education vis-à-vis Tertiary Education Trust Fund (Tetfund) was brought to the fore. The paper further examined cost structure and sharing in Nigerian university system. It specifically described cost sharing as a shift in the burden of higher education costs from being borne exclusively or predominately by government, or taxpayers, to being shared with parents and students. Findings showed that Tetfund does not really provide for students directly. As regards students in private universities in Nigeria, and that private sector has never been involved in funding private universities. It was recommended among others that there is the need to re-engineer policies that will ensure effective financial accountability to prevent fiscal failure in Nigerian higher educational institutions, as well as policies which will ensure more effective community and individual participation such that government will be able to relinquish responsibility for maintaining large parts of the education system.

  • Private Universities in Nigeria – the Challenges Ahead
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Afe Babalola University Repository American Journal of Scientific Research ISSN 1450-223X Issue 7 (2010), pp.15-24 © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2010 http://www.eurojournals.com/ajsr.htm Private Universities in Nigeria – the Challenges Ahead Ajadi, Timothy Olugbenga School of Education, National Open University of Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Public universities had a near monopoly in providing university education in Nigeria until 1999. The market-friendly reforms initiated under the Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAP), the deregulation policies, and the financial crisis of the states created an encouraging environment for the emergence of the private universities in Nigeria. The legislative measures initiated to establish private universities in Nigeria also helped the entry of cross-border education, which is offered mainly through private providers. At present the private sector is a fast expanding segment of university education in Nigeria, although it still constitutes a small share of enrolment in university education. The paper attempts to analyse the growth, expansion, justification and the challenges of private universities in Nigeria. Keywords: Private universities, public universities, access, globalization, social demand, academic staff. Introduction In many African countries, the provision of University education by private institutions is a growing phenomenon when compared to other parts of the world; however, most African countries have been slow to expand the private sector in University education (Altbach, 1999). So also in Nigeria, the emergence of private universities as a business enterprise is an emerging phenomenon, a number of issues plague its development including legal status, quality assurance and the cost of service.

  • Reaching Adventist Students in Secular Campuses With
    The History of Private Sector Participation in University Education in Nigeria (1989-2012) Omomia O. Austin Omomia T. A. James Adeyemi Oluwatoyin Babalola ABSTRACT—There has been a consistent quest for higher education (especially university) in Nigeria due to the unstable academic system, coupled with the total number of candidates seeking admission into the various higher institutions in Nigeria yearly. On the basis of this, it has become obvious that the existing higher institutions, which were mainly government-owned, cannot cope with the ever increasing demand for higher education in Nigeria. One of the basic solutions to this challenge is the liberalization of participation in the education sector. The study applied both historical and sociological methodology in its investigation. This study examined the history of higher education in Nigeria, from 1989 to 2012. In addition, it also examined the role played by the private sector in the Nigerian educational sector in this present dispensation. The writers recommended that there should be a consistent upsurge of private higher institutions in Nigeria to adequately address the challenge posed by high prospective students’ demand for university education. This is due to the fact that the government alone cannot handle the ever increasing demand for higher education in Nigeria.

Sani, HND*, Chief Technologist * Higher National Diploma Nigeria: Geophysics (NIG:01) Summary The purpose of the research activity is to train high level manpower in the field of geophysics. Among the aims of the projects are: (i) to embark on postgraduate programme leading to the award of MSc and PhD degrees in Applied Geophysics; (ii) to design research projects that will address problems of national interest; (iii) to enter into research cooperation with other institutions and government agencies for the purpose of solving scientific problems of mutual and national interest; (iv) to set the pace for sustainable research in geophysics in Nigeria and the Subregion. The research outfit specializes in Applied Geophysics. Therefore its activities are based, essentially, on open field data collection, followed by analysis and interpretation. The methods of investigation, as the case may be, are geoelectrics, gravity, magnetics, magnetotellurics, radiometrics, seismics and very low frequency (VLF) electro-magnetics. These are supplemented by other methods, which are developed by the senior academia of the group. The ensuing scientific hypotheses often enhance data interpretation.
