In this regard, the paper examines an assessment of educational system funding in Nigeria and impact on the funding facilities development in Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria. The researchers employed Ex-post facto survey research design. Data collected for the study were extracted from Physical Planning Unit Nasarawa University, Keffi-Nigeria as case study. The hypotheses formulated weretested using Chi-square statistics with aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 software package. The population size of this study comprised 550 Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and 604 Non Academic Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (NSANU) totaling 3385 of Nasarawa State University, Keffi-Nigeria. A scholar in the secondary source of data collected affirms that the failure of the Federal Government of Nigeria to implement 26% of the national budget recommended for education internationally is responsible for underfunding problem experiencing in Nigerian education.Jt was also discovered that the problem of underfunding shows its ugly faces in term of, shortage of teachers, inadequate infrastructural facilities, inadequate instructional materials, poor quality control, and a host of others in Nigerian schools. These challenges of Nigerian education perhaps conglomerated into poor students' academic performance in Nigerian schools and finally reflected negatively in form of poor goods and services in the national economy. Thus, education becomes an expensive social service for the government to bear alone. Government intervention is hereby recommended as a tool in solving the numerous challenges facing the Nigerian education system. | en_US |
