“…Three hundred and seventy seven students were selected to participate in this study. Data were gathered from students across the various colleges in the selected university with the aid of a researcher- made questionnaire based on the works of [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [8] , [9] . The collected data were coded and entered into SPSS version 22 Data analysis was performed; using SPSS-22 Data was analyzed applying inferential statistical tests which involved regression analysis.…”

The main objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the teaching methods adopted in motivating university students’ in Nigeria to engage in product innovation. Emphasis was laid on Covenant University in Nigeria which is the pioneer institution to offer entrepreneurship education in Nigeria. The study adopted quantitative method with a descriptive research design to establish trends related to the objective of the study. Survey was be used as quantitative research method. The population of this study comprised all students in the selected university which was given as 6401 3. A sample size of 377 students was selected using yard's formula. Reliability and validity were confirmed. Data was analyzed with the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).Regression analysis was used as statistical tool of analysis. The field data set is made publicly available to enable critical or a more extensive inquiry.

Empirical measurement, monitoring, analysis, and reporting of learning outcomes in higher institutions of developing countries may lead to sustainable education in the region. In this data article, data about the academic performances of undergraduates that studied engineering programs at Covenant University, Nigeria are presented and analyzed. A total population sample of 1841 undergraduates that studied Chemical Engineering (CHE), Civil Engineering (CVE), Computer Engineering (CEN), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Information and Communication Engineering (ICE), Mechanical Engineering (MEE), and Petroleum Engineering (PET) within the year range of 2002–2014 are randomly selected. For the five-year study period of engineering program, Grade Point Average (GPA) and its cumulative value of each of the sample were obtained from the Department of Student Records and Academic Affairs. In order to encourage evidence-based research in learning analytics, detailed datasets are made publicly available in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file attached to this article. Descriptive statistics and frequency distributions of the academic performance data are presented in tables and graphs for easy data interpretations. In addition, one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple comparison post-hoc tests are performed to determine whether the variations in the academic performances are significant across the seven engineering programs. The data provided in this article will assist the global educational research community and regional policy makers to understand and optimize the learning environment towards the realization of smart campuses and sustainable education.

“…Although, the works of (Odukoya et al, 2017a;Odukoya et al, 2017b) have shown positive impacts of mobile phone and tablets among students, as it could enable students to easily communicate with their parents, friends and relations outside the university but the policy does not prevent students" access to mobile phone; it only provides opportunities to make calls in designated call centres on campus. Apart from that, the policy permits each student to own a tablet which can be used for effective communication through the WhatsApp application.…”

This article employed secondary data to critically examine policies, mission and vision of a private mission university in line with fundamental human rights and the safety of students. The high rate of violence and criminal activities across Nigeria seems to have given credence to such policies in as much as such policies emphasize students" safety and development. Therefore, academic freedom and students" fundamental human rights should be exercise within the policies designed to ensure students safety and development. In the past and in recent times, studies have explored several areas of student safety and development, most especially in developed nations where priority is placed on student affairs administration, but such efforts are yet to be examined in the literature emanating from Nigeria despite several criticism against the policies of the university. Contrary to the belief of many critics, violation of fundamental human rights does not exist in the university under study; instead, stringent policies and procedures attached to the actualization or implementation of such policies are in existence to safeguard students" safety and development. The study argued that the failure of some students to comply with the procedures attached to these policies seem to have created a scenario of violation which critics contend with. Thus, a stern look at these policies and their applicability to students" matters would have been better understood and appreciated instead of condemnation. However, the paper argued that implementation of policies should be exercised with caution, largely because disciplinary power is a sensitive issue and those exercising it must do so with thoughtfulness and in absolute good faith and in accordance with the rule of law.
