    (Faculty of Education, University of Malaya, Malaysia, 2015) Sofoluwe, A. O.; Oduwaiye, Rhoda Olape; Ogundele, M.O.; Kayode, David Jimoh
    The term accountability means different things to different people in different organizations. In the educational setting, the term is seen as liability to one’s accomplishment in the educational system. The ever increasing needs of the universities and the dwindling resources available to them have forced university management and other stakeholders seek innovative ways of ensuring survival of their universities. This can be achieved through proper accountability of the education goals, programs and productivity measurement. This article begins with a brief overview of the state of Nigerian university education, university management, concept of accountability and processes of accountability. The issues raised include those on goals, accountability and parameters for academic excellence in the system. The article concludes with some suggestions for improving accountability in Nigerian universities.

    (College of Education, North University of Texas, 2014) Oduwaiye, Rhoda Olape; Sofoluwe, A. O.; Bello, T. O.; Durosaro, I. A.
    This study investigated the degree to which Public-Private Partnership (PPP) services are related to infrastructural development in Nigerian Universities. The research design used was descriptive survey method. The population for the study encompassed all the 20 universities in South-west Nigeria. Stratified random sampling was used to select 12 universities comprising of Federal, State and Private universities in the south-west geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Simple random sampling techniques were used to select 2,500 participants. The findings of the study revealed a significant relationship between PPP and the provision of infrastructure (0.024) with df (1: 2498) and p< 0.05). There was also a significant relationship between PPP and maintenance of infrastructure (0.026) with df (1: 2498) and p< 0.05). The implication of these findings is that university goal achievement cannot be determined with only PPP and provision of infrastructure but may also be determined by the extent to which these facilities are adequately provided. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that competent units be established in every university to monitor construction, standard and maintenance of all infrastructure. Plus public enlightenment programs to encourage community participation in the development of infrastructures in the universities.

    The study was carried out to determine the relationship that exists between school population and teachers’ effectiveness in Kwara State Public Basic Schools in Nigeria. School population was examined in terms of small and large schools, while teacher effectiveness was examined through effective lesson delivery, effective classroom management and students’ academic performance as in junior secondary school examinations. A descriptive research design of correlational type was used in the study. Four hundred and twenty five teachers were randomly selected as sample in the study. Two instruments titled:“School Population and Teachers’ Effectiveness Questionnaire”(SPTEQ) and “Students’ Academic Performance Proforma”(SAPP) were used to obtain relevant data. Four research hypotheses were formulated in the study and tested using Pearson productmoment correlation statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The finding revealed that there was a positive significant relationship between school population and teachers’ effectiveness in Kwara State public basic schools. It was recommended, among others, that educational planners, administrators and evaluators should supervise, monitor and co-ordinate the activities of the school heads, teachers and students in order to bring about teachers’ effectiveness.
