Abstract:
Ensuring quality in Nigerian university education requires a systematic approach to goal setting, strategic planning, implementation, and monitoring. One crucial aspect of maintaining academic standards is resource verification, which evaluates the adequacy of faculty, infrastructure, and learning materials to support accredited programs. This paper assesses the process of resource verification in Nigerian universities, emphasizing its role in quality assurance, institutional credibility, and compliance with regulatory standards set by the National Universities Commission (NUC). The study explores how universities define and design academic programs, undergo external evaluations by government agencies, and implement approved programs while maintaining continuous monitoring mechanisms. The findings suggest that while resource verification enhances quality assurance, challenges such as inadequate funding, faculty shortages, and infrastructure deficits hinder its effectiveness. The study recommends enhanced government investment, strategic planning at the institutional level, and stronger regulatory enforcement to ensure universities meet global educational standards. By improving resource verification and academic oversight, Nigerian universities can foster better learning outcomes, graduate employability, and international competitiveness.
Keywords: Resource verification, quality assurance, strategic planning, academic program accreditation.
