Why is it important?

The work curates the opinions of lecturers who are critical stakeholders in university education on what could improve the academic standards of Nigerian universities. It provides empirical data that tertiary education administrators and governments mighty use for policymaking.

Perspectives

When academic standards in Nigerian universities seem to be crumbling, and governments and other stakeholders seem to be at a loss about how to remedy the situation, this work offers the solution based on the opinions of lecturers in the tertiary education system. I am happy to have contributed to shedding this light.
