It was recommended among others that; the Federal Government should work with ASUU to improve teaching conditions by providing adequate teaching resources, infrastructure, and support services. Regular reviews and updates to teaching policies should be carried out to ensure that the needs of both students and staff are met. The Federal Government should increase funding and support for research activities in universities, creating incentives for faculty and students to engage in research. Establishing a dedicated research grant program and improving access to research facilities will foster a more vibrant research environment.
