Abstract
A study was carried out in 1999 to ascertain the activities of World Bank and
Higher Education in Nigeria and Ahmadu Bello University (A.B.U.), Zaria was made
the case study. It was discovered that the World Bank’s funding of Education was not
in physical cash but by material supply such as Books, Journals, Equipment, E-mail,
Management Strength among others.
Federal Universities, who satisfied the World Bank’s criteria benefited from the
loan scheme in various sectors of the universities.
It was also discovered that the World Bank’s conditionalities were very
unfavourable for smooth running of educational system in Nigeria.
This led to serious crisis across the Universities. Lecturers went on strike,
students embarked on violent demonstrations which led to closure of some Universities
and the public also erred their views over the implementation of the World Bank loan.
Findings revealed that the World Bank loan scheme is not the best solution to
the educational crisis in the Nigerian Universities.
