Examing the role of budgeting and institutional factors on funding of public medical education in Nigeria
(Leeds Beckett University, 2020-12) Lawal, O.N.
There is a dearth of literature on the role that funding plays on public medical education in Nigeria, whereas this area of study occupies a pre-eminence in the social and economic lives of the populace. This thesis examines to what extent budgeting and institutional factors affect funding of public medical education in Nigeria, using College of Medicine of the University of Lagos (CMUL) as a case study. This impact was investigated through the use of an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model upon which-run and long-run dynamics were analysed. As a precursor to ascertaining the current practices and to also identify important variables, the output-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was employed to examine the current level of efficiency in the teaching and learning of medical education at the CMUL.
