Background to the Study
Nations all over the world are concerned about and interested in education, both at national and international levels, as a way of fostering human and national development. The philosophy of Nigerian education also recognized education as vehicle for effective human and national development. In the same vein, Ward in Igbinedion and Ovbiagele (2012) described education as essential force for the progress of any society and emphasized that educational institutions are centres for human betterment for the progress of society. A gathering of some 189 nations in the early 2000 at the world education forum in Dakar affirmed the indispensable roles education and educational institutions play in the socio-economic development of a nation and described it as a social function (UNESCO, 2015). Tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria are those institutions that are classified as post-secondary educational institutions and form the Nigeria higher education sector. They provide formal type of education with organized learning activities in universities, polytechnics and colleges of education settings. Tertiary educational institutions are creations of various enabling laws and are subject to rules and regulations formulated and administered by the ministries of education through statutory agencies. Upon this fulcrum, the National Universities Commission as a statutory agency has the power to dictate and regulate the activities of the Nigerian Universities while the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and National 2 Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) are for Polytechnics and Colleges of Education respectively. The regulatory agencies formulate policies, guidelines and supervise the various tertiary educational institutions within their purview. Such policies guidelines include rules and regulations on the type of buildings, facilities and equipment required in institutions, entry requirements of students, minimum age limit for students, curricula, rules guiding students’ movement, qualifications of teachers, academic workloads, conditions of service, students graduation and certification. The day to day management of tertiary educational institutions are left with the Vice-chancellors, Deputy Vice-chancellors, Registrars, Bursars and Librarians for the universities; Rectors, Deputy Rectors, Registrars, Bursars and Librarians for the polytechnics and Provosts, Deputy Provosts, Registrars, Bursars and Librarian for colleges of education. These categories of officers are referred to as principal officers of the respective institutions. Closely associated with the principal officers are other very senior management personnel who are not below the ranks of Senior, Principal or Deputy Registrars who handle in detail the engagements of the principal officers. There is no gain saying the fact that host communities have very high CSR expectations from tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria. This explains the clamour to host tertiary educational institutions by communities across the country, South-South Nigeria inclusive. Host communities are those communities in whose domain tertiary educational institutions are located. They are major stakeholders in the affairs of tertiary educational institutions located within their localities. Host communities are made of indigenes and residence of the immediate communities to 3 tertiary educational institutions in South-South Nigeria. Leadership of host communities comprise of traditional rulers, first-class chiefs, chiefs, community heads, president-generals of communities, secretaries to traditional councils and other prominent community members
