Abstract
The study examined the relationship between staff development in Nigerian universities and
initiatives funded by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).The Nigerian government has
invested heavily in higher education through initiatives such as TETFund. However, there is limited
research on the effectiveness of TETFund program in promoting academic staff development in
Nigerian universities. This study filled a knowledge gap by investigating the relationship between
TETFund intervention and and the development of academic staff members in Nigerian universities.
A five-point Likert scale was used in a structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions to
collect data. Inferential statistical techniques, specifically simple linear regression was used to
analyze the data collected. The findings revealed that TETFund interventions had a positive and
significant effect on the academic staff development in Nigerian universities. The study
recommended among other things that the stakeholders in the Nigerian education sector should
consider allocating more funds to TETFund interventionsto improve academic staff development
outcomes
