This paper was designed to study fundamental issues that affect or impact on how quality management are implemented in Nigeria university context. It is a review of eight major papers focused on quality improvement of Nigerian universities. The research used a desk research methodology to critique areas hitherto overlooked by other researchers in the plan to improve quality services and management. The paper reveals that the challenge of management quality in Nigeria transcends the issue of finance or federal government allocation of resources. The paper presupposes that the issue of poor funding is critical to the development of quality service. However, it is not the exclusive responsibility of the federal government to finance the sector. Other stakeholders, such as state and local governments, as well as other private businesses, have responsibilities they must discharge.
