• W56516033 abstract "Issues such as financial autonomy, academic autonomy and administrative autonomy are crucial to the effective management of university education globally. For many years Nigerian universities have complained of being impeded in these areas because of the supervisory role of the National Universities Commission (NUC) which tend to encroach on their autonomy. In order to confirm this complaint and prefer solution 280 university administrators and 100 university union officials from the 10 universities in the South-South Geopolitical zone of Nigeria were surveyed. An Instrument known as the 'National Universities Commission Supervisory Role and Effect questionnaire' was used for data collection. The chi-square statistical method was used for data analysis. The study revealed that the supervisory role of the NUC in the areas of funding, ensuring minimum academic standards, and political interference in the appointments of vice-chancellors and Governing Councils has been abused resulting in the poor management of Nigerian Universities. The paper subsequently recommended that these anomalies be eliminated through an amendment of the statute that established the NUC in order to give the universities the necessary autonomy for growth. (ProQuest-CSA LLC: ... denotes formulae omitted.) Introduction In 1959, the Nigerian Government set up a high powered commission under UK chairmanship of Sir, Eric Ashby to conduct an enquiry into the country's manpower needs. The commission pointed out that mere is an extent to which development could be rushed, as: Modem dams, power stations, textile factories or still mills can be constructed within a few years. But it takes between ten and fifteen years to develop the managers, the administrators and the engineers to operate them. Schools and College buildings can be erected in a matter of months, teachers and professors ....take long time to produce (FGN, 1960). The Ashby commission recommended the establishment of regional universities, so as to meet up the post-independence manpower needs of the country. ByI 962 there were already five universities in Nigeria namely the Universities of Ife, Lagos, Ibadan, Nsukka and Ahmedu Bello University, Zaria. These Universities were established on the basis of the Ashby commission recommendations. Also established on the basis of the Ashby Commission recommendation is the National Universities Commission (NUC) which came into existence in 1962. The NUC is one of the agencies of the Federal Ministry of Education with the irmnHnt? to maintain mininimp academic standards in Nigerian Universities as well as carry out accreditation functions. Other similar agencies include the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) which play supervisory roles to polytechnics and colleges of education respectively. The NUC has come a long way since 1962 with five Universities to 2006 with 75 Universities to supervise. It is believed that the NUC no longer has the capacity and capability to adequately supervise Nigerian Universities as reflected in the observation of Ejiogu (2003, P.9) thus: Without doubt, having the NUC as the sole monitoring and accreditation body for all Universities and then· numerous programmes, is inelegant and dysfunctional. Would it not be better if, for example the Nigeria Academy of Education, the Nigeria Academy of Science, the Social Science Research Council and National Academy of Arts are empowered to accredit programmes in Education, Science, Social Sciences and Humanities respectively? Fabunmi and Akinwumiju (2003) also believe that the excessive regulation of Nigerian Universities by the NUC especially through funds allocations has reduced the freedom of the Universities and, therefore, their abilities to maintain high standards. The interest of this paper is to find out the relationship between the NUC in its supervisory functions and the Universities in Nigeria. …" @default.
