Academic Research International ISSN: 2223-9553 Volume 1, Issue 2, September 2011 revealed that little emphasis is placed on lecture’s participation in community service, especially at the lower cadre. Evidences from this research also showed that there was no significant relationship between the managerial skills of middle-level managers and students’ academic performance. This may be because managerial skills of middle-level managers do not have direct effect or implications on students’ academic performance, but on academic staff morale, which is then brought to bear on students, in the way academic staff teaches and the enthusiasm demonstrated while teaching. This agrees with the findings of Opadokun (2004) who opined that staff recruitment procedures (an element in managerial skills) do not have significant relationship with students’ academic achievement. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The results obtained from this study revealed that: i) Middle-level managers in colleges of education in South-Western Nigeria demonstrate requisite managerial skills; but the decision-making skills and the interpersonal skills were the least demonstrated of the old and new typologies of managerial skills respectively. ii) Managerial skills of middle-level managers had a very low influence on academic staff research/publications and on community service effectiveness. iii) There was no significant relationship between the managerial skills of middle-level managers and students’ academic performances in colleges of education in South-Western Nigeria. On the basis of the findings of this study, the following recommendations are suggested: a. Professional organizations like the Nigerian Institute of Management (NIM), National Institute for Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) need to develop on line skills measurement systems for educational managers to acquire effective management skills, on appointment as deans and heads of department. b. Middle-level managers in colleges of education need to employ their technical and interpersonal skills to encourage academic staff improve on the quality of classroom teaching/learning by exposing students to research findings in their chosen fields. c. They need to employ their interpersonal and motivational skills to encourage the more senior lecturers to mentor younger ones and helping them to acquire competencies in writing and assessing publications, in the bid to improve on their research and publication effectiveness. d. They should commission research works that will positively impact upon their host communities and add value to her people. e. Institutional managers need to celebrate outstanding research/publication works of staff, to encourage and motivate other staff to develop interest in research and publication of journal articles.
