    (Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2008-06) Fabunmi, M.; Ayene-Neku, A.; Isah, E. A.; Fabunmi, S. O.
    In Nigeria, university authorities appear not to lay adequate emphasis on the application of computer information technologies to teaching. The needed equipment is not often available. Most lecturers do not have the needed computer skills. This study, therefore, investigated the extent to which computer-based instructional technologies could enhance teaching and learning effectiveness with a view to making recommendations to policy makers and university authorities in the country on the need to provide and use Computer-Based Instructional Technologies (CBIT) to teach in at universities. The study adopted survey research design and used the multi-stage sampling procedure to select six out of thirteen faculties and 300 out of 1,156 lecturers at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. A questionnaire was developed for data collection. The multiple regressions were used to analyze data, using a 0.05 level of significance. Result revealed that the application of Computer-Based Instructional Technologies to teaching contributed significantly to teaching effectiveness.

    (2016) Isuku, E. J.
    The debate about the task of financing education in general and universities in particular has continued to generate serious concern among stakeholders all over the world; and more specifically for developing countries like Nigeria. Despite various efforts in the country by successive governments at initiating policies that could enhance effective financing of the sector, there seems to be no significant improvement over the past decades. Adequate funding of universities is often believed to be one of the strong means for increasing the stock of human capital that is needed by a country for successful economic growth and development. However, in Nigeria, the problem of financing education in general and university education in particular is severe. For a long time now, the sector has contended with the challenges of inadequate funding by the government and other organizations. The problem of insufficient funding of universities is further complicated by the rising social and economic burden confronting the government in the face of declining economic fortunes and inflation riding education budget. This development has serious implication for university product quality and national output. The study is intended to advocate for globally effective policies that would improve education funding in Nigeria
