Allocation Pattern in the Financing of College of Legal and Islamic Studies in Nigeria

Abstract

This study investigated the allocation pattern in the financing of colleges of Legal and Islamic Studies in Nigeria with special regard to the adequacy of the funding. The sample consisted of eight out of the twelve colleges of Legal and Islamic Studies in the country. A research instrument titled “Financial Allocation Questionnaire” was used to collect data. The findings showed that there is general under-funding of these colleges within the period considered. Even in the face of inflation and staff and students expansion, there was little or no increase in the colleges’ annual capital grants and monthly subventions. Grounded on these findings, recommendations towards the better funding of the colleges are made
