Abstract
Description
This study sought to assess the basic facility needs of students in order of
preference with respect to their library, ICT laboratory and classrooms in five private
universities within Ogun State, Nigeria. Primary data was collected with the aid of
questionnaire administered to 676 students in five different private universities within
Ogun State, Nigeria. After which, the demographic information of the respondents and
their basic facility needs were compiled using descriptive methods of frequency table
and mean computation. Analysis showed that electricity supply, furniture and space
per student were the most critical basic needs of students in the selected universities.
The study recommended that the National Universities Commission (NUC) as well as
the providers of facilities in universities take note of these basic needs in order to
ensure their constant provision so that students can have more conducive learning
environments. Finally, there was the need to sensitise students on the need to be
security conscious particularly within the academic environment.
