Internal Revenue Generating Methods and Efficiency at Tertiary Levels

Many students of public institutions of higher learning, especially Colleges of Education in Nigeria are found standing outside the classrooms receiving lectures, as their population has outstripped the classroom spaces that are available. This book, therefore, looked at internal revenue-generating methods as ways to aid school plant development in Colleges of Education in South-west, Nigeria. Education served as the engine for the economic, social and political emancipation of the citizens of all nations. It is regarded as an investment in human capital, and a pre-requisite for socio-economic development. Education is a social service whose benefits cannot be quantified. Many countries, including Nigeria, take education as an instrument for the promotion of national development as well as effecting desirable social change. In the past, all government-owned tertiary institutions in Nigeria depended on the State or Federal Government for funds needed to carry out the functions for which they were established. Based on this, it was recommended among others that colleges of education in Nigeria should be more entrepreneurial and proactive in internal revenue generating drive.
