ABSTRACT
This paper assessed carrying
capacity, quality of teaching staff, and compliance level of selected private universities
in Southwestern Nigeria to extant rules of the National Universities Commission
(NUC). The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. Two thousand
three hundred and twenty-four respondents from the selected universities constituted
the sample for the study. Six principal officers, 200
teaching staff, and 1,500 students were selected from the
four sampled private universities by using proportionate stratified
sampling technique. Two self-designed instruments were used for data collection, while
frequency counts and percentages
were used for data
analysis. The study found remarkable adherence to carrying capacity
levels, satisfactory quality of teaching staff, and substantial compliance level to the national admission
requirements. It recommended that the federal government should establish scholarship
and loans board for students’ ease of access to the private universities, NUC should
intensify and sustain strict monitoring of academic programmes, and the private
universities should carry out enlightenment programmes to ensure quality among other
recommendations.
