- Abstract
Governance and management of higher education worldwide, bothers on management's and staff's acceptability of being responsible for their decisions and actions; stewardship, fairness in terms of justice and equity, and all other aspects of administrative performance. This study assessed the moral, process and supervisory accountability in Nigerian higher education. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design using purposive sampling technique. A total of 1,000 academic and administrative staff members drawn from two federal universities in the Southwestern geopolitical zone of Nigeria constituted the sample frame. Two instruments tagged "Accountability Assessment Questionnaire Types A and B" for academic and non-academic staff respectively were used to obtain needed information from the respondents. The results obtained showed agreement to all assessed variables on moral accountability except payment of allowances 77.8% as and when due. Similarly, process accountability was considered good as values above 60% was obtained in the average on documentation, review of activities and staff promotions among others; however, supervisory accountability was equally good except that reward for excellence among staff 62.9% was not institutionalized. The study therefore concluded that for staff in Nigerian higher education to be appreciated for their passion and commitment to work, payment of their allowances as and when due should be taken serious and timely. Recognition should equally be given to members of staff to serve as motivator for others. University management should not wait for staff to embark on strike actions before they are attended to as this would infringe on public perception of their moral, process and supervisory accountability.
