Education represents a vital tool for human and national development in the modern-day world. Perhaps, the tertiary institutions are the drivers of modern knowledge across the globe, hence, the need for continuous improvement of the higher education sector for quality knowledge. The involvement of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund in lifting the faces of tertiary education in Nigeria is yielding significant progress in attaining its purposes. The primary purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of Tetfund grants on the academic commitment of Nigerian lecturers in pedagogical and research development. Eighty-three academic lecturers randomly selected from different tertiary institutions in Kogi State, Nigeria, participated in the study.
