An Assessment of Capacity Building Programmes in Nigerian Universities

This is the first book to treat in-depth the human capacity building programme of a Nigerian university and to apply it to the daily need and experience of Kogi State University and University of Abuja as microsm of the Nigerian university system. It is therefore useful both as a textbook for students of tertiary institutions and for practitioners and government functionaries at all educational levels that are desirous for a professionalized, qualitative, competitive, productive, result oriented and effective human capacity development. The book not only explores the main theoretical and conceptual issues in human capacity building, it also draws the historical, empirical and experimental data to discuss the various political, social and administrative dimensions of human capacity building programmes, particularly since the 1970s to this period.
