Physical Infrastructure and Learning Resources Interventions of TETFund as Correlate of University Goals Achievement in Southwest, Nigeria (Published)
This study examined the relationship between TETFund interventions specifically physical infrastructure and learning resources and the achievement of university goals in public universities in Southwest Nigeria. Using a descriptive survey research design, the study sampled 660 academic and non-academic staff across four randomly selected public universities. Data were collected using two validated and reliable instruments: the TETFund Interventions Questionnaire (TIQ) and the University Goals Achievement Questionnaire (UGAQ), which measured variables such as physical infrastructure, learning resources, academic excellence, graduate employability, programme quality, and community engagement. Reliability coefficients of 0.89 (TIQ) and 0.84 (UGAQ) were obtained via test-retest procedures. Data were analysed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed a statistically significant relationship between TETFund physical infrastructure interventions and university goals achievement (r = 0.718, p < 0.05), as well as between learning resources interventions and university goals achievement (r = 0.604, p < 0.05). These results imply that TETFund’s support in enhancing educational infrastructure and learning materials significantly contributes to institutional performance, including improved teaching, research quality, and administrative efficiency. Based on these findings, the study recommends increased and sustained TETFund investment in university infrastructure and learning resources, regular monitoring and maintenance of facilities, and greater stakeholder engagement in project planning and implementation.
