number and quality of academic and non teaching (support) staff in Universities in the SouthEast

of Deans and Heads of Department on this inadequacy of personnel. Based on these findings, it
was recommended that more qualified personnel should be employed and the existing ones that
are not qualified should be retrained or sponsored to acquire higher certificates. The paper also

these universities. And so, urgent steps be taken to remedy the problems.
