    The Perceptions of Students and Faculty on the Potential Impact of University-Industry Collaborations on Quality Assurance in Two Nigerian-Publicly Supported Universities A dissertation presented to the faculty of The Patton College of Education of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Education Adedayo Ogundimu December 2016 ©2016 Adedayo Ogundimu. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled The Perceptions of Students and Faculty on the Potential Impact of University-Industry Collaborations on Quality Assurance in Two Nigerian-Publicly Supported Universities by ADEDAYO OGUNDIMU has been approved for the Department of Educational Studies and The Patton College of Education by Emmanuel Jean Francois Assistant Professor of Educational Studies Renée A. Middleton Dean, The Patton College of Education 3 Abstract OGUNDIMU, ADEDAYO, Ed.D., December 2016, Educational Administration The Perceptions of Students and Faculty on the Potential Impact of University-Industry Collaborations on Quality Assurance in Two Nigerian Publicly-Supported Universities Director of Dissertation: Emmanuel Jean Francois The National Universities Commission (NUC) has observed that the quality and focus of training offered by Nigerian universities in recent times are not in tune with the needs of the country. Studies have also reiterated the above problems as well as their causes. These include decline in real value of government budgetary allocations for higher education; compromised university autonomy; deterioration of physical structures; incessant student and faculty strikes as well as the lack of modern teaching, learning and research resources. It has thus become necessary for Nigerian universities to consider the possibility of collaborating with industries for research and innovation as one of the feasible means of boosting their access to teaching, research and learning resources.

  • 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.

Tella1, Paul, Y. Mbaya2 & Shehu, M. Liberty2 Abstract The study tries to compare leadership styles of accountability between two former vice-chancellors in the University of Maiduguri. They were Professor Abubakar Mustapha and Professor J. D. Amin from 1998-2008. The objective of the study is to explore the different styles of the leadership exhibited by the two vice-chancellors during their tenures. The methods adopted in conducting the study include the use of primary and secondary data as well as personal observation. A total of one hundred and eighty questionnaires (380) were distributed to staff targeting the entire staff population of 2880. A Purposive random sampling was employed cutting across all the categories of staff in the university and a combination of ANOVA and Statistical chi-square was also employed in the data analysis using SPSS 16. The findings revealed that there is a significant difference between Professor Abubakar Mustapha and Professor J.D. Amin in terms of administrative styles. Mustapha achieved more peace and stability on campus and J.D. Amin, achieved better manpower development and apathy to work. Lastly, suggestions were made to the authority of university among other things, that future vice-chancellors should encourage team work among members of staff.

  • Evolution and Revolution of Adult Learning: Exposition of Open and Distance Learning in Nigeria
    EVOLUTION AND REVOLUTION OF ADULT LEARNING: EXPOSITION OF OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING IN NIGERIA Nneka A. Umezulike1 ABSTRACT: The educational system has witnessed a number of laudable programs since inception in both formal and non-formal systems of education programs that were set up to empower adult educational skills, knowledge, decision- making processes.Correspondence education transformed into distance education which--with the advent of information and communication technology--is being referred to as Open and Distance Learning. The study looked at some of the existing Distance Learning Institute initiatives and other programmes in Nigeria. The programmes include National Teacher Institute (NTI) and Degree programme through Open and Distance Learning (OPL) in some universities including National Open University (NOUN) degree programmes. The researcher used descriptive survey to examine the institutions involved in Open and Distance Learning in Nigeria. The following were examined: their goals, scopes, successes, failures and challenges. The researcher recommended among other matters, that there should be academic collaboration between Nigerian Federal Universities and Open and Distance Learning Institutions in Nigeria. Keywords: Correspondence, Open and Distance Learning, Information and Communication Technology Adult education in Nigeria, having experienced a comeback following the independence and increasing prosperity of many Nigerian states, poses specific requirements on policy makers and planners to take into consideration indigenous cultural traits and characteristics. With a moderate backlash against western ideals and educational traditions, many universities and other institutes of higher education take it upon themselves to develop a new approach to adult and higher education. Non-formal education no doubt plays complementary and supplementary roles to the formal school system.

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.

  • Education and Boko Haram in Nigeria
    SECURITY, STRATEGY, AND ORDER APRIL 2020 FROM “WESTERN EDUCATION IS FORBIDDEN” TO THE WORLD’S DEADLIEST TERRORIST GROUP EDUCATION AND BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA MADIHA AFZAL FROM “WESTERN EDUCATION IS FORBIDDEN” TO THE WORLD’S DEADLIEST TERRORIST GROUP EDUCATION AND BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA MADIHA AFZAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Boko Haram — which translates literally to “Western education is forbidden” — has, since 2009, killed tens of thousands of people in Nigeria, and has displaced more than two million others. This paper uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine the relationship between education and Boko Haram. It consists of i) a quantitative analysis of public opinion survey data, and ii) a qualitative approach, including interviews conducted with students, education officials, journalists and practitioners in the field of countering extremism during a September 2019 field visit to Nigeria, as well as a study of textbooks and curricula and a review of the broader historical narratives in the country. Boko Haram arose in Nigeria’s northeast, which is mostly Muslim and has poor educational outcomes relative to the south. The ideology of Boko Haram’s founder, Mohammad Yusuf, explicitly attacked Western education as well as Nigeria’s democracy and its constitution. Boko Haram’s focus on education is unique among peer jihadist movements. The terrorist group did not emerge in a vacuum: Yusuf capitalized on grievances that already existed in Nigeria’s north against the country’s Western education system. These grievances rest on several factors. First, there is a lack of northern buy-in for the Nigerian state’s post-colonial, federally-imposed Westernized system of education.
