Abstract

This paper examined the impact of corruption on the availability of academic staff and infrastructure facilities in Nigerian tertiary institutions using secondary data that were collected from print and online publications. The study concluded that there is significant relationship between corruption and shortage of academic staff and inadequate infrastructure facilities in the Nigerian tertiary institutions. The implication of this is that the quality of tertiary education will be affected negatively. The realization of tertiary education depends on the availability of qualified and adequate academic staff and infrastructure facilities. Academic staff are the implementer of curriculum in the tertiary institutions and to do this, the academic staff and students need adequate infrastructure facilities. Based on this discovered, the paper hereby recommended that the government should deploy technologies and artificial intelligence to curb corruption in the management of tertiary institutions. The government should ensure effective monitoring and evaluation system to the development of facilities in the tertiary institutions across the country.
