Building a Sustainable Future-Ready University: Ideas and Perceptions of a Financial Manager
(2024-12-17) Odekunle, L. A.
The concept of a 'future-ready university' has emerged as a central focus in today’s educational landscape, presenting both a renewed emphasis and a transformative frontier in higher education discourse and management. The post-pandemic era, marked by rapid technological advancements and global economic challenges, has intensified the need to rethink universities' roles and their readiness for the future. A university is deemed future-ready when it not only addresses today’s challenges but also remains resilient and adaptable in overcoming the uncertainties of tomorrow. Among the sustainability factors contributing to the future readiness of a university, financial sustainability appears to stand out as a critical cornerstone as I view through the lens of a financial manager. By the definition of the United Nations, sustainability encompasses three key pillars: environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. In the context of a university, economic viability specifically refers to the institution’s long-term financial sustainability, ensuring that the university can support its academic mission and future growth. This financial sustainability is driven by scalable, adaptive, and growth-oriented financial management, which empowers universities to expand their resources, programs, and infrastructure in response to evolving demands. Such financial agility ensures long-term viability, institutional resilience, and global competitiveness. For Nigerian universities, the discussion around future readiness is particularly urgent. These institutions face significant financial hurdles, including limited government funding, growing demand for higher education, and intensifying global competition.

(Ilorin Varsity International Journal of Library & Information Science, 2023) Adegoroye, A.O.; Ojo, J. O.; Ashiru, B.
This study investigated the influence of management styles and information anxiety on the job performance of library staff in academic libraries in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive design with a study population and sample of 197 librarians and library officers in 14 academic libraries in Lagos State. A structural questionnaire titled “Management Styles, information Anxiety and Job Performance (MSIAJP)” was used for data collection which had a coefficient reliability ofα=, 9091. Data was analysed using frequency distribution; percentages, mean, and standard deviation together with regression and correlation analysis run on SPPS. There is a significant relationship between management styles and job performance of library styles of library staff in academic libraries г=.306, P<0.05). There was no significant relationship between the management styles of library staff in academic libraries (г=.0.51, P>0.05). There was a significant combined effect of the management styles and information anxiety on the job performance of library staff (2,192) =10,327, P<0.05). Job performance of library staff in academic libraries is a function of many factors including management styles and information anxiety. This present study has been able to establish that both management styles and information anxiety have a major influence on the job performance of library staff. It is therefore recommended that library management should endeavour to create a favourable information environment that promotes access to useful information for decision –the library management should ensure that work is designed in a way that improves employees’ feeding of satisfaction and commitment to the work.
