Abstract
Specialized federal universities are established separate from the general
universities to engage in research and development as indispensable to national
economic development. To translate these laudable objectives into concrete
reality, adequate funding must be accorded to specialized federal universities. It
is still not clear whether the funds management influence the performance of
these specialized universities. This study examined the impact of funds
management on the performance of specialized federal universities in Nigerian.
The study used both primary and secondary sources of data; the secondary data
utilized are the Annual Budget estimates while the primary utilized questionnaire
administered. The Simple regression was used to address the quantitative aspect
of the study and simple percentage was used to address the qualitative aspect of
the study. The result of the study reveals that funds management has significant
impact on the physical facilities, researches and number of graduates produced
by specialized federal universities. The study therefore, recommends among
others that the federal government should increase its funding (capital, recurrent
and research grants) to specialized federal universities and encourage internally
generated revenue by ensuring state and local government, private enterprises
and other non- government agencies (i.e. third party) are contributing their
quota.
