CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1   BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Higher educational institutions, especially in Nigeria, are known for insufficient allocation of resources from government/stakeholder that set them up and other resources centres. In most instances, management of these institution fall challenges of having to apply inadequate resources to meet the multi-dimensional objectives in producing good output. This has always been a serious process.   This, therefore, necessitate the need to draw policies that will help in the management of these facilities. Consequently, there is a need to also evaluate these policies and its management in order to know its efficiency.

1.2    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The roles and high educational institutions in achieving national objectives can best be expressed as a series of tasks which must be fulfilled. They cannot be accomplished overnight. These tasks are described as:

Passing on the heritage of the past.
–  When a child is born he begins a new personal existence, but he also joins an old established society. One of the roles institutions plays is to pass on to him the knowledge is very great. The present generation is deeply indebted to past generation for all past discoveries, inventions and accumulated experiences that have been handed down to them. Civilization would cease to exist if every the heritage of the past were withheld from the present. In the past, this heritage was passed on through the family or by contact between individuals.   Today, the increased volume of knowledge and a greater number of people acquiring it requires extra schools in form of private institutions organized by individual and bodies.

Preparing for the future
–   To prepare pupils for living in modern society, higher institutions must prepare individuals spirit, mind and body. Decent behaviour must be instilled, useful skills and healthy activities of the mind encouraged. These three things are necessary not just preparing the children for earning a living, but for coping with the problems of the society which they will soon find themselves as adult members and also putting purpose into living.
–  Education gives a satisfying purpose for all we learn and it keeps us from living a life that is purposeless and helps us to show the people we teach that our labours in teaching them and their efforts at learning after for a better purpose than just making them skilled, but will help them to become man and woman of real understanding.
–   Higher institutions need to convince their pupils and student that life has purpose and education is worthwhile.

Training the Labour Force
–       The higher institution helps the nation in developing low, middle and high-level manpower necessary for economic development. These higher institutions train a significant number of the country’s labour force such as technicians, accountants, confidential secretaries, typists etc.
–       The top management cannot function properly without the support of these categories of the labour force. They are like the foundation on which a building rests.
The wheel of economic progress will not move without the support of these categories of labour force trained by higher institutions. Without adequate funds, these tasks or objectives cannot be accomplished. The institution runs various courses both at certificate, national and higher national diploma levels. Good financial allocation and control are needed to ensure the success of the courses offered.   Financial allocation is needed for planning the scarce resource of the institution, while control ensures that the action of the institution management moves to towards the stated objectives. Akwa Ibom Polytechnic has important roles to play in developing the management needed in the country, but this role can be severely limited if the institution is not adequately funded. The problem we wish to investigate is adequate finance being provided to higher education institutions such as Akwa Ibom Polytechnic in achieving these tasks.
