Abstract

The effectiveness of public universities in Nigeria has continued to generate discussion and is a matter of urgent attention in achieving the mission and vision of the higher education system. This study was carried out to investigate the issues obstructing the effectiveness of public universities in Nigeria. The conceptual framework was adapted from the European Foundation for Quality Management Excellence model (EFQM). This study adopted a generic qualitative design to collect data through semi-structured interviews from eight participants, including the deputy vice-chancellor, deans, head of departments, and lecturers that were purposively selected. Data collected were analysed using thematic analysis with Nvivo (version 10). The findings of the study revealed that leadership, academic and administrative issues, contextual issues and funding are the major factors affecting the effectiveness of public universities in Nigeria. Therefore, for a university in Nigeria to be viewed as a hub of developing nations that strive to meet the expectation of the society, the identified hindrances must be thoroughly interrogated and resolved.

影响公立大学高等教育实效性的问题调查

尼日利亚公立大学的有效性继续引起讨论，这是在实现高等教育系统的使命和愿景方面迫切需要关注的问题。本研究旨在调查阻碍尼日利亚公立大学效率的问题。概念框架改编自欧洲质量管理卓越基金会模型(EFQM)。本研究采用一般定性设计，通过半结构化访谈的方式，对有意选择的副校长、院长、系主任、讲师等8位参与者进行数据收集。收集的数据使用Nvivo (version 10)的专题分析进行分析。研究结果表明，领导力、学术和行政问题、背景问题和资金是影响尼日利亚公立大学效率的主要因素。因此，尼日利亚的一所大学要被视为努力满足社会期望的发展中国家的中心，必须彻底询问和解决已确定的障碍。
