Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the availability, adequacy and condition of facilities in universities in the South West of Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and purposively sampled universities under three categories, using random sampling technique to select and administer -the instrument (a 25-item validated self-designed questionnaire and Observation schedule) to a total of 300 students in the three tertiary institutions. Data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Among the findings was that even though facilities were generally available, they were largely not in good condition and this is having a negative effect on the morale of the students in these institutions. It was suggested, among others, that better maintenance culture be developed in order to add value to education, guarantee quality and encourage sustainable national development.
