INTRODUCTION
Background of the study
Tertiary institutions in this context refer to post secondary or higher institutions of learning that are found within the Nigeria nation. These institutions include the universities, colleges of education, polytechnics and other similar institutions that learning is offered at the higher level. These institutions as per the practice in Nigeria are in most cases located at the out sketch of cities inhabited by rural communities or where the under privileged people live because large expense of land are always available for future development of such institutions. According to Ladani, (2008) tertiary institutions particularly the universities in many parts of the world, faculty members looked down on sports as non –academic and have therefore developed negative attitude toward it. Today the practice has made a significant improvement, according to Bitrus (2005) the Universities and other tertiary institutions have taken sport more seriously. These institutions probably because of large sums of money they got from students as sports fee, now allocates large sums of money for sport development in areas of facilities, provision of equipment and logistics for sports as well as training programmes. Tertiary institutions have gone further in creating departments to handle physical fitness within the general administrative set up. These offices in most cases are headed by a director or a sports coach with several subordinate officers serving under him. The officers include coaches who are specialists in various sports. Staffs from Physical and Health Education Department were sometimes made to work hand in hand with these sports offices in the institutions where they exist as coordinators of sports (Bitrus, 2005). Given this advantage in addition to availability of facilities and equipment, there is often a greater enthusiasm for participation in physical fitness activities among the academic staff of tertiary institutions particularly the College of Education than at other levels.
