In such partnerships, the government could contract a private company to build and or maintain school buildings on a long-term basis, typically 25 to 30 years. In this type of PPP, the private sector supplier assumes responsibility for the risk inherent in the ownership and efficient operation of the project's facilities.

  • 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.

  • Library Usage by Private University Clientele in Southwest Nigeria
    Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal, 40. URL: http://www.iclc.us/cliej/cl40OO.pdf Library Usage by Private University Clientele in Southwest Nigeria Omotoso Abiola McPherson University Nigeria [email protected] Okiki Olatokunbo Christopher University of Lagos Nigeria [email protected] ABSTRACT: The study investigated the frequency of library use by students and staff at four private universities in Southwest Nigeria. Simple Random technique and a self-developed questionnaire were used to collect data from both the staff and students of the four universities. It was found that 66.5% of the respondents did not visit the library website and that 82.4% did not read library newsletter. On the other hand, 71.5% were satisfied with the services provided by the library and that 72.2% were happy with library open hours. I. Introduction The academic library is at the heart of a university. The purpose of its establishment is to support the educational needs of the host institution. Roberson (2005) defined “library as an institution that manages the intellectual products of society and processes them in such a manner that the individual can gain access to them readily” (p.48). Library information resources can be in both printed and electronic formats such as books, journals, indexes, newspapers, magazines, reports, CD-ROMs, computers files, microfilms. Library services such as current awareness, reference services, indexing and abstracting, photocopying, printing, and bindery are added services. Since the academic library is established to serve the needs of its host community, then the services rendered must cut across the community by meeting the needs of all students and staff in the institution.
