Abstract	Nigeria is the most populous African country and the one most critical for U.S. relations with black peoples everywhere. It has a revitalized National Universities Commission (NUC), an ambitious new educational policy, and six old and seven new universities. The challenge is to find effective means of Nigerian access to the appropriate and interested U.S. universities out of the baffling total and to foster linkages in pursuit of mutually held objectives. That was the task undertaken by the five-man team that visited Nigeria in 1977, at the request of the NUC, organized by the American Council on Education, and cosponsored by the NUC and the U.S. Agency for International Development. Recommendations are made for maximizing U.S. university assistance to Nigerian university education in three areas: (1) overseas staff recruitment; (2) in-country staff development; and (3) interuniversity linkages for developmental purposes.
