  • 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.

  • Le Nigeria Et La Suisse, Des Affaires D'indépendance
    STEVE PAGE Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance Commerce, diplomatie et coopération 1930–1980 PETER LANG Analyser les rapports économiques et diplomatiques entre le Nigeria et la Suisse revient à se pencher sur des méca- nismes peu connus de la globalisation: ceux d’une relation Nord-Sud entre deux puissances moyennes et non colo- niales. Pays le plus peuplé d’Afrique, le Nigeria semblait en passe de devenir, à l’aube de son indépendance, une puissance économique continentale. La Suisse, comme d’autres pays, espérait profiter de ce vaste marché promis à une expansion rapide. Entreprises multinationales, diplo- mates et coopérants au développement sont au centre de cet ouvrage, qui s’interroge sur les motivations, les moyens mis en œuvre et les impacts des activités de chacun. S’y ajoutent des citoyens suisses de tous âges et de tous mi- lieux qui, bouleversés par les images télévisées d’enfants squelettiques durant la « Guerre du Biafra » en 1968, en- treprirent des collectes de fonds et firent pression sur leur gouvernement pour qu’il intervienne. Ce livre donne une profondeur éclairante aux relations Suisse – Nigeria, ré- cemment médiatisées sur leurs aspects migratoires, ou sur les pratiques opaques de négociants en pétrole établis en Suisse. STEVE PAGE a obtenu un doctorat en histoire contempo- raine de l’Université de Fribourg et fut chercheur invité à l’IFRA Nigeria et au King’s College London. Il poursuit des recherches sur la géopolitique du Nigeria. www.peterlang.com Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance STEVE PAGE Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance Commerce, diplomatie et coopération 1930–1980 PETER LANG Bern · Berlin · Bruxelles · Frankfurt am Main · New York · Oxford · Wien Information bibliographique publiée par «Die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek» «Die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek» répertorie cette publication dans la «Deutsche Nationalbibliografi e»; les données bibliographiques détaillées sont disponibles sur Internet sous ‹http://dnb.d-nb.de›.

The study was therefore designed to analyse management practices in Lagos state tertiary institutions through total quality management structural framework. The selected public tertiary institutions in Lagos State were Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo, University of Lagos (UNILAG) Akoka, Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCOPED) Inaforija, Epe, Federal College of Education Technical (FCET)Akoka, and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) Oto-Ijanikin. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. A Total Quality Management practices and Quality Teacher Education Questionnaire (TQMP-QTEQ) was used to obtain data for the study. The structured questionnaire was administered on 905 academic and non-academic staff members and final year students of sampled institutions using purposive sampling technique. The questionnaire was content-validated using expert opinion method and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistics of sampling adequacy. In terms of the measure of reliability, the Cronbach’s Alpha values for the two major constructs of the study are satisfactory – quality teacher education (0.838) and TQM (0.879). Their Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistics of sampling adequacy were equally above the acceptable standard of 0.7. The hypotheses were tested at the 5 percent level of significance.

  • The Origin and Development of Formal Art Schools in Nigeria (Pp
    An International Multi-Disciplinary Journal , Ethiopia Vol. 4 (2) April, 2010 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070-0083 (Online) The Origin and Development of Formal Art Schools in Nigeria (Pp. 502-513) Chukueggu, Chinedu C. - Department of Fine Arts and Design, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. E-mail – [email protected] Abstract: The paper traces the origin and development of art study in the institutions of higher learning in Nigeria. The British Colonial Government in the country was not keen at investing on higher education. They feared that increase in knowledge through higher education might intensify the already tensed political agitation for self rule in the country. Therefore, Nigerians were only left with the difficult task of travelling abroad to acquire higher education. This was also the plight of the pioneer College and University trained Nigerian artists. This paper investigates the eventual establishment of Art Departments in the first higher Institution built by the colonial masters in Nigeria. It traces the growth and transformation of the pioneer higher institution into the power house of art education in the country. It also looks at the subsequent establishment of many other art departments in the institutions of higher learning in post independence Nigeria. It looks at the changes over time in the course content of these art departments which today are completely indigenous. Finally, it concludes with an update of Nigerian Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education that offer art in their programmes. Key Words: British, Art, Committee, College, University, Polytechnics. Copyright © IAARR 2010: www.afrrevjo.com 502 Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info African Research Review Vol.

  • Arua Centre of Excellence for Unemployment and Skills Development
    ARUA CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AT AFRICAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY SOLUTIONS (AEDUPS), UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS Preamble Africa as at today has a population of 1.25 billion people of the World population of 7.52 billion1 with more than 500 million of this population suffering of poverty2. This is an indication of the fact that close to 46 percent of African population live below the poverty line of $1.25 per day which should be a grave concern for all meaningful researchers of African origin. This condition is made worse whenever the wealth of nations is examined globally vis- à-vis the standing of an average African country. None of the African countries is among the 20 largest economy of the world. In the first largest 50 economies, only Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa made 26th, 31st and 38th positions respectively. (1http://worldpopulationreview.com/continents/ 2https://borgenproject.org/10-quick-facts-about-poverty-in-africa/ 3http://data.worldbank.org/data-catalog/world-development-indicators An evaluation of the Fortune 500 Companies of the world showed that no African oriented company or Company of African origin ranked among this group4(http://fortune.com/global500/); thereby indicating the level of misfortune of economic circumstances of African nations. If this continues, poverty, unemployment, frustrations and non- competitive economies will pervade the African nations; hence, the African continent will never be able to level-up with the quality of lives offered to citizens by other continents of the world like Latin America, Asia and Europe. A quick diagnosis of these two inverse situations of wealth and poverty in other continents of the world (Latin America, Asia, Europe & Australia) and Africa showed a strong availability of entrepreneurship orientation and development in the wealthy continents and a lack of this in Africa.
