Abstract

The study is aimed at ascertaining the extent to which Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TET Fund) Intervention affect Sustainable Development of Tertiary Educational Institutions in South East, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to: (i) determine the extent to which TET Fund intervention improved seating capacity of tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria, (ii) ascertain the extent to which TET Fund intervention contributed to staff competence of tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria, (iii) examine the extent TET Fund intervention affected global visibility of staff of tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria. In line with the specific objectives, the study was guided by five research questions and hypotheses. The study adopted the descriptive survey design while the quantitative data used in the study was sourced primarily from a well-structured questionnaire. Study population was 19,200 academic and nonacademic staff of the target tertiary educational institutions in the area. Freud and Williams (1986) formula for sample size determination was employed to arrive at a sample size of 899. Data collected for the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency tables, percentages, mean and standard deviations) while the research hypotheses were tested using one-sample student’s t-test. Findings revealed that TET Fund intervention contributed positively and significantly to increased seating capacity (t*=20.719, p=0.000<0.05), staff competence (t*=9.964, p=0.001<0.05), global visibility (t*=19.475, p=0.000<0.05), in tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria. Implication of the findings is that TET Fund intervention played substantial role in the development of sustainable tertiary educational institutions in Southeastern Nigeria. Conclusion was drawn that TET Fund intervention is a noteworthy promoter of sustainable development in tertiary educational institutions in South East, Nigeria. However, it was recommended that the Tertiary educational institutions should work towards strengthening their relationship with TET Fund so that they make more funds available for building/acquiring more infrastructural facilities like desks/chairs, provision of modern lecture halls and classrooms, building modern student hostels, providing modern ICT facilities, equipping the libraries and laboratories, etc
