The standard of teaching was raised with minimum qualification set and only those who met the qualification were expected to be employed to teach at the level of primary education. • Intensive crash programmes were introduced to produce teachers for primary schools. • In the Second Republic between 1979 – 1983, the ruling National Party of Nigeria at the Federal level advocated “Qualitative Education” rather than “Free Education 4 • Loans Boards, Bursary and Scholarship were introduced by Governments, faith-based organisations, individuals and employers to expand the horizon of education affordability in Nigeria. • The Federal Government in 1994 established Education Bank which died before take-off. 5 • President Olusegun Obasanjo, on his second coming introduced the Universal Basic Education, making education free at the Basic level covering Primary and Junior Secondary education (Basic Education). • The Universal Basic Education Commission was introduced to maintain standard and to ensure quality. State Government also introduced the State Universal Basic Education Board to concurrently maintain and sustain standard at this level. 6 • Following the defunct of the Nigeria Education Bank, the Education Trust Fund (later TETFUND) was established. • The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) has been the saving grace for virtually all Government owned institutions in Nigeria. 7 TETFUND AND EDUCATION TERTIARY EDUCATION TRUST FUND (TETFUND) ALLOCATION TO EACH TERTIARY INSTITUTION 2010 – 2016 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 S/N Beneficiary (Nm) (Nm (Nm) (Nm) (Nm) (Nm) (N) 1 Universities 395.00 595.00 646.00 912.00 337.00 1.00941bn 303.14 2 Polytechnics 240.00 337.00 443.00 661.00 250.00 691.632m 216.56 Colleges of 3 190.00 319.00 390.00 581.00 227.00 679.05m Education 157.17 8 TETFUND AND EDUCATION CONT’D TERTIARY EDUCATION TRUST FUND (TETFUND) ALLOCATION AND DISBURSEMENT IN OGUN STATE INSTITUTIONS 2011 - 2016 S/N TERTAIRY INSTITUTIONS ALLOCATION DISBURSEMENT BALANCE (N) (N) (N) University of Agriculture, 1 7,213,638,276.67 4,954,145,476.40 2,259,492,800.27 Abeokuta Tai Solarin University of 2 1,325,916,939.00 902,298,597.00 423,618,342.00 Education Olabisi Onabanjo 3 3,229,442,776.67 2,449,695,562.75 779,747,213.92 University, Ago Iwoye 4 Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro 2,470,367,194.00 2,036,184,922.00 434,182,272.00 Moshood Abiola 5 2,465,599,302.00 1,373,549,425.00 1,092,049,877.00 Polytechnic, Abeokuta Abraham Adesanya 250,000,000.00 - 250,000,000.00 6 Polytechnic Tai Solarin College of 7 1,853,188,965.50 982,877,083.13 870,311,882.37 Education, Ijebu Ode Federal College of 8 3,338,055,613.50 2,047,934,814.50 1,290,120,799.00 Education, Osiele, Abeokuta Total 22,146,209,067.34 14,746,685,880.78 7,399,523,186.56 9 TETFUND AND EDUCATION CONT’D TERTIARY EDUCATION TRUST FUND (TETFUND) INTERVENTION IN OGUN STATE 2016 ALLOCATION S/N TERTAIRY INSTITUTIONS AMOUNT (N) 1 University of Agriculture, Abeokuta 1,009,410,000 2 Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye 1,009,410,000 3 Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro 691,632,000 4 Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta 691,632,000 5 Federal College of Education, Osiele, 679,057,000 Abeokuta 6 Tai Solarin College of Education, Ijebu Ode 679,057,000 Total 4,760,198,000 State to choose State-Institution to be funded in each of the three (3) categories 10 TETFUND AND EDUCATION CONT’D • Let us imagine that there is no Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), students would have paid for all these services and majority of them would not have been able to afford the fees that would have been charged. • The alternative would have been decay or lack of infrastructure and lack of quality. 11 TETFUND AND COMPETITIVE FUNDING 2013 NRF BENEFICIARIES Principal S/N Beneficiary Institution Grant (N) Researcher 1 Prof. Ibiyemi, University of Ilorin 11,580,000.00 Tunji Samuel Yekeen O.

    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.

Twelve groups (3 control and 9 test groups) of 6 animals each were daily exposed to 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg b.w doses of petroleum ether extract of marijuana for 4, 8 and 12 weeks. The expressions of the gene were obtained using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) while electrolytes concentrations were determined. An upregulation of over 90% was observed in the expression of HTR3A after exposure to the highest dose throughout the exposure period. There was significant increase in the plasma potassium concentration at all doses while there was a decrease in the brain only at 50 mg/kg dose throughout the exposure period. Sodium concentration in the brain was not affected by the doses over the period of exposure but plasma concentration decreased significantly.

    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.
