Sample size consisted of 1211 respondents representing 98% of the population of 1,236. The participants were selected using simple random sampling technique. Instrument for data collection was Global Challenges and Sustainable Implementation of Higher Education Questionnaire (GCSIHEQ). Validation of instruments was carried out by two experts in the Department of Educational Management, Faculty of Education in University of Port Harcourt for scrutiny. Reliability coefficient index of 0.90 was obtained using Pearson product moment correlation coefficient.
