Members are encouraged to be guided by them. NEW EXECUTIVES’ MANIFESTO FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. mobilization for good attendance at our conferences announcing all conferences six (6) months earlier encouraging all Journal Editors attend all annual conferences to give their annual reports at AGMs encouraging all Journal editors to annually bring hardcopies of their journals for sale at conferences well organized quiz competitions well organized conferences sanitizing our database to retain registered members only functional rules to guide National group chat increased revenue base for NISEB functional quarterly bulletin regularity of NISEB journals visibility of NISEB website visibility of members’ published articles on the internet *NEC and all NISEB chapters are expected to help all future Chapter’s LOCs advertise their conferences. The LOC in turn has to make what is to be publicized; the date, venue, etc. (on posters and fliers) available on time, at least 6 months earlier. It was agreed that the PRO should contact the newly appointed coordinators in the various institutions where there are no NISEB chapter through their email addresses by providing them NISEB information such as the write up about scope of NISEB and copies of membership form with which they can invite more scientists to NISEB. NISEB FACEBOOK PAGE The PRO was mandated to create a facebook account for NISEB. The link is here pasted https://www.facebook.com/groups/1840033292958200/permalink/1840033302958199/. All members are encouraged to visit and like the page regularly. YOU NEED TO BE A REGISTERED NISEB MEMBER NEC at our last meeting suggest that inactive or members that are yet to registered are to be encouraged to do so by filling the membership form online at www.niseb.org or fill manually and submit through their chapters chairmen, with evidence of annual dues payment. The chapters are to forward such filled forms to the National Assistant Secretary [email protected] 08036910988; and the National Secretariat, [email protected] 08033576937, for proper registration. The entrance or membership fees should be paid directly into NISEB secretariat account and evidence of payment attached to the registration form. Local chapters are to organize quarterly programs in their various institutions, such as seminars, workshop, scientific talks, quiz competition, etc and send reports of such activities to NEC [email protected]; [email protected] and [email protected] 08087803564, 08051505889 and 08038349822 for publication in our subsequent quarterly bulletin, the first of which will be released this September and here attached. After the Jalingo conference, only registered members will be retained on the national NISEB whatapp platform (NEC) and National NISEB register (BOT). All comments or posts will be signed or followed by individual’s membership number. This we hope will reduce and curb erratic postings on our National platform. In the same vain, another reason we need to get properly registered is that, subsequently, only registered members on National Secretariat’s Directory can go for electoral positions in NISEB during Electoral year AGMs. 1ST NISEB QUARTERLY BULLETIN / NEWSLETTER It was agreed that we sustain the bulletin on quarterly basis, starting with this September 2018 issue. NEC members agreed to make this a reality by showing a leading example in single-handedly submitting articles for the newsletter of the September, 2018 edition. The attached newsletter is from NEC members only. It was also suggested that NEC members introduce themselves to the larger house and include their Individual pictures, so that each executive can be identified by all NISEB members, especially those that did not attend the Omu-aran conference. 2nd NISEB QUARTERLY BULLETIN / NEWSLETTER In preparation for the production of the next quarterly bulletin, all NISEB members are encouraged to submit their articles to the National Secretary and the National PRO via [email protected] and [email protected] respectively between now and 1st of December, 2018. All chapters should report their local activities as news items with pictures where possible and send them in for publication in the next bulletin. UPDATES FROM EDITORS OF THE FOUR NISEB JOURNALS The president contacted the editors of all the four NISEB journals for information and updates of their various activities. The editors of all NISEB journals have reported that their journals are receiving manuscripts and publishing articles, though at different pace. Bioscience Research Journal was recently taken over by Prof. M. A. Belewu, he will be able to give an all-encompassing report on the journal by the next NISEB conference in Jalingo Patronizing all NISEB Journals All Journal Editors are henceforth encouraged to attend all annual conferences to give their annual reports to the larger house at annual AGMs. In addition, they are encouraged to annually bring hardcopies of their journals for sale at conferences. This will allow members to have physical access to the editors and more money will be generated for the society and for maintenance of the journals. We propose to henceforth add hardcopies of all NISEB journals to annual conference bags at an affordable price for all members. This token will be built into the registration fees to ease money collection and remittance to the editors or to the society. NISEB QUIZ COMPETITION Every chapter is encouraged to key into the students quiz competition arrangement, they are to liaise with the Vice President (08032488513) on the details and modalities. He will be assisted by the treasurer (08037802662). We are all expected to encourage our undergraduates, Masters and Ph.D. students to participate fully in the quiz competitions and attend annual conferences to mentor them. UPDATE ON OUR WEBSITE VISIBILITY The NISEB website www.niseb.org is up and working. www.nisebpublications.com is another website created by one of our editors. The link to that website is already in the main NISEB website. It was agreed that it is needful to link all the journals to NISEB main website and also make all four journals, charge the same page charges. The www.nisebpublication.com site can take all the four (4) NISEB journals and one of the editors; who created the site have asked other editors to hook up with him on that. On the DOI, it was agreed that all editors should get one doi for every members’ published article to make them registered and visible online, this is applicable to all the four (4) journals, this will go a long way to aid members’ promotions and online visibility. CHANGE OF ACCOUNT SIGNATORIES Efforts are ongoing to ensure the change of signatory letter gets to the appropriate quarters for signing out of past executives and signing in the new NEC before the end of this September. This will go a long way to assist NEC to run the society effectively, exco have thus far been running the society from their personal purses. MEMBERSHIP CERTIFICATE: Efforts are ongoing on the part of Prof. C. O. Bewaji and NEC to ensure that all members, who are yet to receive their membership certificate get it soonest. Members are encouraged to be patient. Vital information from BOT Secretary to all NISEB members Greetings from NISEB Secretariat! We are in the process of updating the information in the NISEB database.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Reaching Adventist Students in Secular Campuses With
    The History of Private Sector Participation in University Education in Nigeria (1989-2012) Omomia O. Austin Omomia T. A. James Adeyemi Oluwatoyin Babalola ABSTRACT—There has been a consistent quest for higher education (especially university) in Nigeria due to the unstable academic system, coupled with the total number of candidates seeking admission into the various higher institutions in Nigeria yearly. On the basis of this, it has become obvious that the existing higher institutions, which were mainly government-owned, cannot cope with the ever increasing demand for higher education in Nigeria. One of the basic solutions to this challenge is the liberalization of participation in the education sector. The study applied both historical and sociological methodology in its investigation. This study examined the history of higher education in Nigeria, from 1989 to 2012. In addition, it also examined the role played by the private sector in the Nigerian educational sector in this present dispensation. The writers recommended that there should be a consistent upsurge of private higher institutions in Nigeria to adequately address the challenge posed by high prospective students’ demand for university education. This is due to the fact that the government alone cannot handle the ever increasing demand for higher education in Nigeria.

  • By Hadiza Hafiz, Ph.D
    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 7 No. 9 September 2019 FACTORS HINDERING ACCESS TO UNIVERSITY EDUCATION: IMPLICATION FOR ADMISSION IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES By Hadiza Hafiz, Ph.D Department of Arts and Social Science Education, Faculty of Education Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano-Nigeria [email protected] Abstract University education being the basic instrument of economic growth and technological advancement in any country, demand for it has increased due to the recent policy of universal, free and compulsory education at the basic levels and also as a result of an increase in the college-age population, as well as an awareness of the role of university education in the development of the individual and the nation in general. This paper, therefore, examines issues and challenges of securing admission to Universities in Nigeria. To do this, efforts were made to examine the operation of university education in Nigeria, the concept of access in education, the federal government policies on admission, major factors that influence and impede access to university among others were discussed in the paper. In conclusion the paper revealed that despite the increase in the number of universities, the rate of admission is low compared to the number of applicants. This is as a result of impediments to access and management of admission in the universities. Based on that, the paper recommends for the establishment of more universities to meet the needs of those yearning for University education. More academic staff should be employed, and to make admission twice in a year as it has been done in many countries.

    International Journal on Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS, Vol 16, No 1 March, 2020)||gubdjournals.org THE HISTORY OF THE EMERGENCE OF PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN NIGERIA Simeon Emenike Weli, Ph.D. Faculty of Technical and Science Education, Rivers State University, Nkpolu Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Abstract The demand for university education became so great in Nigeria during and following the oil-boom era that existing universities in the country could not offer admission to all. This and other factors discussed in this work led to the deregulation of higher education to give room to private sector participation. This paper examined the history of the emergence of private universities in Nigeria. Introduction Private education is a reality and has been growing around the world together with globalization. Private universities are seen as the most vibrant and fastest growing sections of post secondary education in the 21st century (Altbach, 1999). These are some of the reasons why privatization of higher education is quick growing globally, especially in Nigeria. i. There are the deregulation policies of the governments on the provision of education and thus giving adequate opportunities for private participation in education. ii. There is the inability of the public sector to satisfy the growing social demand for higher education, hence the need for the private sector to expand students’ access to higher education. iii. Public education is criticized for inefficiency while the private sector is increasingly promoted for its efficiency in operation. iv. The demand for employment oriented courses and subjects of study had changed and public universities seem unable to respond adequately to this phenomenon, hence it becomes imperative that private sector should increase.
