Accessing the factors that affect the implementation of successful project management for TETFUND-sponsored projects in the South East, Nigeria (2011–2021)
As important as the knowledge acquired via the teaching and learning process in tertiary institutions is theinfrastructure in tertiary education. This is the case since infrastructure is one of the facilities that primarily supportsthe teaching and learning process. In Nigeria, tertiary education has faced and continues to face a number ofdifficulties throughout the years, one of which is the deterioration of the infrastructure necessary for professional andNational University Commission (NUC) accreditation. The improper implementation of project management and theabsence of integration of the services of the professional project manager in various TETFund Intervention Projectsare two of the biggest difficulties experienced in the implementation of TETFund-Sponsored Projects. The upshotof this is that TETFund-Sponsored Projects have been delivered unsuccessfully. For this study project, thequantitative research method was used. For this study, official documentation of Annual Intervention Projects in 10public recipient universities in South-East Nigeria was obtained. This study indicates that all the parametersindicated are drivers of successful project management with mean ratings over 2.5 based on the results it has receivedand assessed. The overall rating was 2.9, which is also higher than the benchmark norm. We reject the null hypothesisand come to the conclusion that there is no significant relationship between the variables of completed within time,not completed within time, completed but delayed, and not completed yet behind schedule. Hypothesis testingrevealed that the value of the t-statistics (0.049) was below 0.05.
