From many debates and argument put forward on the discussion of deregulation, it is very clear that deregulation policy was introduced for the purpose of enhancing productivities of public sectors or government owned establishment. The establishment of deregulation policy has created opportunities for different individuals and groups to participate or take ownership of some public sectors in the quest for providing better services and making profits. However widens the gap in knowledge to whether or not taking ownership of public sector business has generated profit or not. This paper is desk research and intends to review issues unturned in the past literature on how deregulation has now suddenly become a market-led approach to the Nigerian Universities Management. The paper revealed that Nigerians are keen about getting the best quality education irrespective of how the education systems are put up to be achieved. Likewise government have not been able to deregulate any of the public universities they owned rather university provisions have been commercialized and extended to private individuals.

Training and development ensure that organizational staff possess the knowledge and skills needed to perform their jobs effectively and adapt to ever changing technology. This paper uses desk research to evaluate work carried out related to training and manpower development, especially debate centered on how to improve the quality of staff performance. The study finds that, although a host of workshops, seminars and training are available, few are assessed due to the differences between budgetary provisions and actual funds released, for various years, at both federal and state levels.

The paper investigates what principal officers in Nigeria universities perceived as quality from a rationale perspective rather than replicating the approach in a rationale environment.

All the respondents had key roles in formulating, administering, and implementing issues relating to quality. The study findings reveal that many of the principal officers find it difficult to define quality though they assume they can recognise quality when they see it; however, observation ...

One path to ensuring organisations (including small and medium-sized enterprises-small and medium enterprises) not only increase its profit base, but also survive in a very competitive environment is to leverage on its internal resources (its people).

The informal relationships within the organizations have been accorded as ‘social capital’ by many scholars. These social interactions among the actors (Human resource personnel and employees) within organizational network has been est...
