Mentoring is the practical means of transferring of university culture, value, ethics and profession to the next generation.

It is unfortunate that most universities’ mentoring programme In Nigeria is faced with a lot of problems.

Based on these problems, the paper recommended that National Universities Commission should direct universities to institutionalization mentoring programme. Government should implement all agreement reached with different trade unions in the universities to prevent strike actions. Government should increase the funding of university education in Nigeria. National Universities Commission should organize workshops for senior academic on effective skills for mentorship in the universities.
