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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Academic Achievement at the University of Maiduguri: a Survey of Teaching-Learning Environment
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.6, No.36, 2015 Academic Achievement at the University of Maiduguri: A Survey of Teaching-Learning Environment D.A Jiboyewa, Muhammad Amin Umar Department of Education, University of Maiduguri Abstract This study assessed the teaching-learning environment at the University of Maiduguri. The study used survey design. The population comprised of the 77 academic departments in the eleven faculties at the University of Maiduguri. A total of 29 departments were randomly and proportionally drawn from the 77 departments. The smallest sample (21 percent) was drawn from the College of Medical Sciences having the largest number of departments. The second level of sampling was for respondents. Average of 20 lecturers per department was estimated targeting 50 percent of them. A norm of 20 students for each of the departments was used. Results shows that among others institutional contribution to the quality of teaching learning environment is 51 percent; individual contribution is 53 percent; lecturers contribution is 55 percent. The study concludes that the overall quality of the environment for teaching and learning at University of Maiduguri is sub-standard. Thus the study recommends among others that the University management should be committed to planned intervention to bring about the required changes. Keywords : Academic Achievement, Teaching-Learning Environment, Students Characteristics, Departmental Characteristics, Faculty Characteristics, University Characteristics INTRODUCTION The Nigerian university system is currently facing a crisis of increasing student population without a corresponding rise in the level of infrastructures, human and material resources essential for processing the teaming population of students.
