Abstract
Description
The economic recession experienced in Nigeria between 2015/2017 was a great concern to the management of the university system especially with shortfall in the prices of oil and gas in the global market. It would not be an understatement to say that, Nigeria university degree programmes accreditation would suffer because funding of these programmes comes from oil and gas revenue due to Nigeria mono-economy. It is evidently glaring that managing programmes accreditation during this dispensation would be affected in no small measure due to the economic recession. In view of the above, this paper would examine the following: the concept of university management, university programmes, programmes accreditation, objectives of accreditation, accreditation instrument, criteria for programme accreditation, challenges of accreditation, sources of funding university degree programmes, economic recession and its effect on university management, recommendations and conclusion.
