Background of the Study

Revenue diversification is a critical strategy for enhancing the financial sustainability of tertiary institutions, especially in Nigeria, where funding from government sources is often inadequate and unreliable (Afolabi & Akinyemi, 2024). Osun State University, like many public universities in Nigeria, faces challenges in securing consistent and sufficient revenue from government allocations. As a result, the university must explore alternative revenue streams to ensure that it meets its operational and developmental needs (Fola & Ogundele, 2023).

Tertiary institutions in Nigeria are becoming increasingly dependent on non-governmental funding, which includes tuition fees, research grants, donations, alumni contributions, and income-generating activities such as partnerships with the private sector (Akintoye & Lawal, 2024). These sources of revenue can help universities fund infrastructure projects, pay staff salaries, and provide scholarships to students. However, the success of these strategies depends on their effective implementation and the ability to balance the need for financial sustainability with the affordability of education (Ogunjobi & Adeoye, 2025).

This study will assess the revenue diversification strategies implemented by Osun State University, examining the effectiveness of these strategies in securing additional funds and their impact on the university’s financial health and educational quality.

Statement of the Problem

The reliance on government funding for Nigerian tertiary institutions, particularly Osun State University, has been insufficient to meet the growing demands for quality education, infrastructure, and staff remuneration (Fola & Ogundele, 2023). While Osun State University has implemented several revenue diversification strategies, the effectiveness of these strategies in generating sustainable income remains uncertain. There is a lack of comprehensive studies that assess the extent to which these strategies have helped the university achieve financial stability and academic excellence.

This study seeks to evaluate the revenue diversification strategies at Osun State University, focusing on their effectiveness in improving the institution’s financial independence and addressing funding challenges.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To assess the revenue diversification strategies employed by Osun State University.

  2. To evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in improving the financial sustainability of the university.

  3. To identify challenges and propose recommendations for enhancing revenue diversification in Nigerian tertiary institutions.

Research Questions

  1. What revenue diversification strategies are employed by Osun State University?

  2. How effective are these strategies in improving the financial sustainability of the university?

  3. What challenges does Osun State University face in implementing its revenue diversification strategies?

Research Hypotheses

  1. H₀: The revenue diversification strategies employed by Osun State University do not significantly improve its financial sustainability.

  2. H₀: There is no significant relationship between revenue diversification strategies and the overall financial health of Osun State University.

  3. H₀: Implementing additional revenue diversification strategies will not significantly improve the financial sustainability of Osun State University.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This study will focus on Osun State University and assess its revenue diversification strategies. It will exclude other universities or institutions within or outside Osun State. Limitations may include limited access to financial records and the reluctance of university administrators to share sensitive financial data.
