Abstract

In recent years, funding for the Nigerian educational system has been in discourse for sundry reasons, chief of which is the quest for sufficient and stable funding for the system, as poor funding which hit the universities under the Nigerian jack-boot regimes has been a recurring decimal. Therefore, this paper is a historical synopsis cum appraisal of the pattern of funding for education, mostly as it affects university education, under an emerging democracy. The paper summits that lack of political will and government’s refusal to prioritise the education sector for funding is remotely the major bane towards the much desired appropriate funding for university education. It therefore advocates for a revolutionary mind-set in order for government to correct the errors in funding university education.
