Abstract: One of the goals of any country's government is to address the requirements of its citizens by
providing high-quality education. This is due to the fact that citizens find it challenging to find
modern solutions to the day-to-day issues they face in their local community and at school as a
result of the rapidly shifting global dynamics. The delivery of high-quality higher education in
Nigeria is now plagued by a plethora of issues that face quality assurance. As a result, this article
examines some of the difficulties that Nigerian higher education's quality assurance department
faces. Clarification was provided for some of the key terminology, including higher education and
quality assurance. It emerged that some of the challenges that stakeholders must manage to ensure
quality assurance at the higher education level are staffing, high attrition rate of quality manpower,
infrastructural decadence, non-implementation of academic briefs and programmes, inadequate
funding; frequent labour disputes and university closures; and poor staff development
programmes. It was determined that in order to manage these difficulties, stakeholders must fulfill
their supervisory responsibilities by making sure that all educational levels maintain the suggested
criteria established by higher education authorities. Furthermore, it was recommended that
Nigerian universities establish an internal committee for quality assurance and monitoring in order
to supervise quality control in the personnel planning, technical, and administrative departments
in order to provide effective services inside the institution. |
