More importantly, he argues that the impact of these policies cannot be fully understood without looking closely at the intersection of domestic and external politics dictating the direction of higher education development as a vehicle for nation-building in Nigeria’s pluralistic society.Africa: missing voices seriesEducation, HigherHistory20th centuryNigeriaHigher education and statePolitical aspectsNigeriaEducation, HigherNigeriaNation-buildingNigeriaEconomic developmentNigeriaNigeriaUniversity1948-2000Education, HigherHistoryHigher education and statePolitical aspectsEducation, HigherNation-buildingEconomic development378.6690904Anyanwu Ogechi Emmanuel968026Anyanwu Ogechi EothPQKBUkMaJRUBOOK9910141816803321The Politics of Access2198509UNINA
