Abstract | Education has been recognized as an important tool for achieving a nation's goals, vision and objectives. The quality of Nigerian universities has been and still is an issue of concern among stakeholders due to the challenges posed by globalization and the need for continued scientific and technological advancement. Over the years, this concern has been related to poor funding, inadequate planning, and instability of the academic calendar, infrastructural decay (insufficient materials and instructional facilities) quality of academic staff and students as well as academic staff shortage. These challenges have raised increasing interest and concern about the quality and standard of education to reflect the expected rapid growth of university education and its costs to the public funds. The stratified simple random sampling technique was used to sample 300 lecturers from three universities namely, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Usman Danfodiyo University Sokoto and the University of Abuja. The choice of the universities was based on geo-political zones of the country. The universities are also categorized into first, second and third generation respectively. Results show that poor planning, funding and management among others have affected higher Education in general. (As Provided). |
