dc.description.abstractThe most popularly adduced reason for the advent, establishment and licensing of non-governmental universities in Nigeria is the need to increase access to tertiary education for the teeming population of university admission seekers that possess the pre-requisites but are unable to secure admission just because of inadequate space. Taking cognizance of the fact that non-governmental university proprietors are entrepreneurs that have profit making as a legitimate goal, it should not be unexpected that they would prefer only the course that their market surveys show as most sought after and neglect the ones that are less patronized. This then puts a question mark on the place of access provision which the non-governmental university proprietors would have the world believe as central to their motivation for venturing into the provision of university education. This study, based on proofs from relevant literature of the studies in English, French, German and Arabic languages to national development, sought to appraise the contributions of non-governmental Nigerian universities in increasing access to such disciplines. The survey adopted a multi-stage sampling procedure and collected data through visits to the websites of all non-governmental universities in the country and conducted interviews with relevant officers of sampled universities. Frequency counts and percentages were used in answering three research questions. The findings reveal an appalling general disinterestedness of non-governmental universities in providing access for prospective students of the languages as well as teacher preparation in them. Suggestions are made accordingly.en_US
