These findings emphasize the importance of adopting the partnering and alliance oriented strategies among the public universities in Nigeria, for their success and these would help in gaining competitive advantage over others and reap higher performance. They could also anticipate future threats and seek out opportunities for further expansions in their activities. Conclusion and future research direction is provided toward increase in university performance.
