THE IMPACT OF POOR INFRASTRUCTURAL FACILITIES ON THE QUALITY OF BUSINESS EDUCATION IN NIGERIA
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of poor infrastructural facilities on the quality
of Business Education in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Guided by three research
questions and hypotheses, an ex post facto (causal-comparative) research design
was adopted. The population comprised 18,740 lecturers and students of Business
Education in Nigerian tertiary institutions, from which a sample of 392
respondents (72 lecturers and 320 students) was selected using Taro Yamane’s
formula. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire with a reliability
coefficient of 0.82, and analyzed using mean, standard deviation, Pearson
correlation, and multiple regression at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings
revealed significant positive relationships between infrastructural facilities and
the quality of Business Education: ICT facilities (r = 0.652, p < 0.05), electricity
supply (r = 0.573, p < 0.05), and physical learning facilities (r = 0.601, p < 0.05).
Regression results indicated that these variables jointly accounted for 53.6% of
the variance (R² = 0.536) in Business Education quality, with ICT exerting the
strongest influence (β = 0.412). The study concluded that inadequate
infrastructural facilities significantly hinder teaching effectiveness, research
productivity, and skill acquisition in Business Education. It recommended
increased funding, stronger public–private partnerships, stable power supply, and
the prioritization of ICT integration and facility maintenance to improve Business
Education quality in Nigeria.
