| Abstract: | The issue of central concern in this article is the analysis of the desirable level of university expansion in Nigeria under a situation made challenging by the rapidly growing number of potential entrants. To identify the scope of expansion for the future, past trends are examined against a background of recent proliferation, by different levels of government, in order to cope with the demand for more places by the overwhelming majority of applicants who are consistently turned down every year. From this perspective, finance is considered as the ultimate and critical determinant of the level of growth of the entire Nigerian university system, notwithstanding the high degree of motivation as revealed by the annual surge of applicants in search of places. |
