This dissertation investigated impact of funding on quality university education in two selected Nigeria universities: Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (A Federal University) andNasarawa State University, Keffi (A State university), covering the period between2001-2009. The research objectives includes determining funding pattern of the two Universities; to ascertain if funding has improved the quality of teaching, research and also to ascertain if funding has actually impacted on infrastructure in the two universities. Descriptive method employing survey device, questionnaire method augmented with interview and observation techniques were used to collect data from primary and secondary sources. Spearman’s correlation analysis and chi-square were used to test the four hypotheses which are as follows: “There is no significant shortfall between fund requirement and fund provided to the two universities; training and quality manpower does not depend on government funding; for the universities ability to establish and maintain infrastructure does not depend on funding position by government; and lastly, funding is not instrumental to universities capacity to mount academic programmes”. The study among other things found that there is a wide gap between funds requirement and funds provided to the two universities; and also the universities ability to train quality manpower is directly related to funding provisions by government. The study recommends that should adopt a proactive investment strategy to generate funds for financing university education instead of relying heavily on government grants. Universities should also institute a system of budgeting that is performance based which would yield optimal result to the universities. Also they should collaborate with private sector for joint funding and management of services. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Title page - - - - - - - - - - i Declaration - - - - - - - - - - ii Certification - - - - - - - - - - iii Dedication - - - - - - - - - - iv Acknowledgment - - - - - - - - - v Abstract - - - - - - - - - - ix Table of Contents - - - - - - - - - x CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the study - - - - - - - 1 1.2 Statement of the Research Problem - - - - - - 13 1.3 Research Questions - - - - - - - - 14 1.4 Objectives of the Study - - - - - - - 15 1.5 Statement of Hypotheses - - - - - - - 16 1.6 Significance of the Study - - - - - - - 16 1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study - - - - - - 18 1.8 Basic Assumptions of the Study - - - - - - 20 1.9 Definition of Concepts - - - - - - - 20 CHAPTER TWO LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK 2.1 Introduction - - - - - - - - - 23 2.2 Literature Review - - - - - - - - 88 2.3 Theoretical Framework - - - - - - - 106 ix CHAPTER THREE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 3.1 Introduction - - - - - - - - - 93 3.2 Research Design - - - - - - - - 93 3.3 Population and SampleSize - - - - - - 94 3.4 Sampling Technique - - - - - - - - 96 3.5 Method of Data Collection - - - - - - - 97 3.6 Administration of Instruments - - - - - - 98 3.7 Method of Data Analysis- - - - - - - - 99 CHAPTER FOUR HISTORY, STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONAL PATTERN OF NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY SYSTEM 4. 1 Introduction - - - - - - - - - 102 4.2 Historical Development of University Education in Nigeria - - 102 4.3 NUC and the University System - - - - - - 105 4.4 Funding of Nigerian Universities - - - - - - 107 4.5 Funding Modalities of Nigerian Universities - - - - - 110 4.6 Administrative Structure of the University system - - - - 116 CHAPTER FIVE DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS 5.1 Introduction - - - - - - - - - 123 5.2 Data Presentation - - - - - - - - 123 5.3 Data Analysis - - - - - - - - - 155 5.4 Major Findings - - - - - - - - 160 x CHAPTER SIX SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION 6.1 Introduction - - - - - - - - 163 6.2 Summary - - - - - - - - - 163 6.3 Conclusion - - - - - - - - - 166 6.4 Recommendations - - - - - - - - 168 Bibliography - - - - - - - - - 171 Appendix xi CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the Study It is commonly presumed that formal schooling is one of several important contributors to the skills of an individual and to human capital.
