Abstract: This research work focused on the impact of Tertiary Education Trust Fund on academic staff development in tertiary institutions Benue State. A total of 155 academic staff from five tertiary institutions in Benue State were sampled for this research. Three research questions and two hypotheses were formulated for the studies. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. Carefully designed questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The analysis made use of Chi-square to test the hypotheses. The data collected were analysed using frequency and percentages. Results of the research showed that TETFund intervention on training and development has great impact on improved skills and development of the staff of tertiary institutions. TETFund sponsorship of academic staff to conferences and workshops has significant impact on research and academic growth in tertiary institutions. The findings revealed that there is a relationship between TETFund and the academic staff training and development of academic staff of Benue State tertiary institutions. Also there is a relationship between TETFund and academic staff research output in tertiary institutions in Benue State. Findings suggest that TETFund should increase the current amount allocated for academic staff training considering the preset economic conditions and remove or reduce the bureaucratic processes involved in accessing funds for easy assessment of fund.
