Abstract :

ABSTRACT This study investigate instructional leadership and effective management of higher education in public tertiary institutions in Rivers State. All of the chief officials at the public tertiary institutions in Rivers State made up the study's population. University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State University, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, Rivers State College of Health Science and Technology, and Federal College of Education Omoku are some of the public tertiary institutions in Rivers State. Stratified random sampling was used to choose the 228-person sample, which was calculated using the Taro Yamane formula, from a population of 533. Mean and standard deviation were utilised to answer the study questions, and the null hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient. The study's findings revealed a somewhat good association between instruction supervision and efficient management of higher education in Rivers State's public tertiary institutions. The findings of this study indicated that the poor and ineffective administration of universities in Nigeria is due to institutional leaders' lack of values such as integrity, effectiveness, competence, honesty, accountability, and justice. The study recommended that leaders of tertiary institutions should supervise lecturers in their classes intermittently and their supervision should not aim at fault-finding or witch-hunting, but should aim at improving the quality of instruction and learning situations. Keywords: Instructional, Leadership, and Effective Management
