Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2022 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 4.3 CGP, , course: Public Administration, language: English, abstract: The development and sustainability of any nation is anchored on the efforts and measures put in place by the government towards the funding and development of its tertiary education system, which is that level of education where skills, competence and advanced knowledge are gained and utilized. The defect in this very important sector resulted in numerous challenges that grossly affected the economic development of the nation. The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) came in as a quick fix to reinvigorate and revamp the Nigeria tertiary education system. This study examined the Tertiary Education Trust Fund and the development of the six selected Federal Universities in South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria (1999–2020). To carry out this study successfully, data was gathered through primary and secondary sources, the descriptive survey design was adopted and questionnaire were distributed; four research questions and four null hypotheses guided the study. A sample of 1744 respondents were used for the study, which comprised 55 respondents for TETFund officials and 1689 for the university staff (teaching and non-teaching), the stratified random sampling was used for the TETFund officials and the Taro Yamene sample size determination formula for the University Staff in the six selected Federal Universities, The System and New Public Management theory were adopted as the theoretical framework. The questionnaires were structured on a 4-point likert scale and valid data analysed with the use of descriptive statistical tools of tables, charts, mean and standard deviation. The Z-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 Alpha levels. The findings of the study indicated that TETFund has impacted positively in arresting the rot in Nigeria University Education in infrastructures as well as human capacity development, except for the little challenges that have to do with ease of access and government regulations associated with the policy, the study recommends among others that: all TETFund interventions should be utilized for the purpose it was established and not for personal aggrandizement and the bottlenecks encountered by the beneficiaries in the process of accessing the funds should be curtailed.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: Pass, , course: Marketing, language: English, abstract: HEIs in Zambia have adopted the use of social media in advertising, online learning and also for administrative purposes. Social media has developed in the recent years to a level where it presents itself as the biggest virtual market with the potential to increase geographic markets and revenue for organizations. While cases of HEIs that have used social media marketing for purposes of marketing exist in other places, there is no significant research in the Zambian environment that shows empirical evidence that the use of social media marketing can impact marketing performance in HEIs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of social media marketing on marketing performance in HEIs and the findings are meant to build a model for social media marketing for HEIs in Zambia in (see figure 5.2 in Chapter 5). Data in this research was collected from twelve HEIs using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, since this research is a mixed research with both deductive and inductive arguments. The data collection techniques included a semi structured interview for qualitative data and a semi structured questionnaire for the quantitative data. Data analysis was carried out using different techniques in SPSS for the quantitative data and content analysis using Google analytics for the qualitative data. The implications of the findings in chapter four mean that HEIs in Zambia must begin to use social media not only for administrative or advertising purposes but they must use it effectively as a tool to increase their market share and increase their revenue. The findings and data analysis in this research indicated that social media is effective in marketing HEIs in Zambia, however these institutions must adopt the suggested model in Figure 5.2 in Chapter 5 if they are to enhance social media performance for marketing
