Inadequate funding of university education that is occasioned by the present economic quagmire has made the need for generating revenue other than government allocation sacrosanct. It is against this backdrop that this paper attempted a holistic perusal of the issues associated with Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in Nigerian Universities. This…
