Abstract
Efficient and sufficient infrastructure systems are crucial to effective teaching and learning. For over a decade now tertiary institutions in Nigeria are underfunded yielding conspicuous decline and deficit in the infrastructure systems in public institutions. Typically, number of students, staff and programs are on the increase which in essence should translate to technological and socioeconomic development of the nation. However, the large turnouts of graduates are unemployable with certificates that have little or no recognition, even if good grades. In this study, an assessment of the infrastructure systems of tertiary institutions and its effects on students’ performance is investigated. Results show that deferred maintenance and deficit in infrastructure development rate are factors responsible for the turnout of poor quality and, hence, unemployable graduates. Among others, it is recommended that master plan for infrastructure development should be formulated for each public tertiary institution with monitoring structures in place to ensure the funding and execution of the master plans until each institution attains self-sustenance.
