Abstract:
One of the goals of any country's government is to address the requirements of its citizens by providing high-quality education. This is due to the fact that citizens find it challenging to find modern solutions to the day-to-day issues they face in their local community and at school as a result of the rapidly shifting global dynamics. The delivery of high-quality higher education in Nigeria is now plagued by a plethora of issues that face quality assurance. As a result, this article examines some of the difficulties that Nigerian higher education's quality assurance department faces. Clarification was provided for some of the key terminology, including higher education and quality assurance. It emerged that some of the challenges that stakeholders must manage to ensure quality assurance at the higher education level are staffing, high attrition rate of quality manpower, infrastructural decadence, non-implementation of academic briefs and programmes, inadequate funding; frequent labour disputes and university closures; and poor staff development programmes. It was determined that in order to manage these difficulties, stakeholders must fulfill their supervisory responsibilities by making sure that all educational levels maintain the suggested criteria established by higher education authorities. Furthermore, it was recommended that Nigerian universities establish an internal committee for quality assurance and monitoring in order to supervise quality control in the personnel planning, technical, and administrative departments in order to provide effective services inside the institution.
