The purpose of the study was mainly to identify the major sources and utilization of internally generated financial revenue by Nigerian University administrators. The population of the study consisted of all the 102 university administrators from the seventeen Federal Universities in Southern Nigeria. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used to analyze the research questions and hypotheses formulated for the study. The analysis revealed that commercial ventures were among the main sources of IGR while the proceeds were used for services including staff welfare, maintenance of facilities and beautification of the university premises. A further analysis of data showed that there was a significant relationship between internally generated resources and the management and development of universities in Southern Nigeria. It is recommended that university administrators should be more transformative in their leadership style in order to strengthen their revenue base for effectiveness in University management.
The paper examined the traditional roles of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) in secondary schools in Nigeria. The state of secondary schools in Nigeria suggests that there are still some problems facing the school in which the PTA had been found wanting. These include inadequate financial support of the PTA to the schools; lack of cooperation between the schools and the parents; inadequate supervision of schools among others. The paper therefore made some recommendations on how the roles of the PTA can be strengthened for better community participation in the provision of qualitative education at the secondary school level. These include giving the PTA more involvement in educational financing; giving them more responsibilities in school administration; giving them direct labour for execution of school projects instead of giving to outside contractors.
Inspite of the fact that women are integral part of a nation's development, the disadvantaged position of women in Nigeria, particularly when compared to men, and the fact that they are ravaged by poverty, make case for efforts to be geared towards their empowerment. If this is achieved, it can have positive effect on the social, political, economic, and cultural development of Nigeria. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the educational management strategies for empowering women such as: increasing the access to female education, sustaining female children in educational institutions; and attending to adult illiterate women in the society.
