Abstract
This study appraised the utilization of overhead grants’ efficiency among federal
educational institutions in Nigeria between2011-2019. Data for the study were
sourced from the Annual Audited Financial Statements of the public sector entities.
The sampled size for the study comprised (25) federal educational institutions out
of 69 federal educational institutions drawn across the country among four (4) geo-
political zones. Data were analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis. The results of
the average efficiency scores from both CCR and BBC models showed that the
entities were averagely efficient in overhead grants’ utilization. Overall results
showed that federal educational institutions have high capacity to absorb sufficient
overhead grants from the center. The study therefore concluded that there is need
for an improved overhead grants releases to the federal educational institutions to
achieve effective service deliveries of their core mandates. The study recommended
a continuous assessment and periodic appraisal of the overhead grants’ utilization
among the institutions by their supervising ministry to achieve full efficiency.
