Purposive sampling technique was used to select sample from the sample frame and descriptive statistics was used for data analysis from the research instrument. The study revealed that staff promotion led to improvement in staff performance and that there exist three processes for staff recruitment and promotion among academic staff members. Also three major weighting criteria for recruitment and promotion among academic staff members such as teaching, administration and research were identified. This study recommend the need for university management to take a critical look at the promotion practices in their institutions with a view to evolving a more holistic approach to academic staff assessment for promotion and thereby addressing areas of dissatisfaction expressed by academic staff.
