Abstract
Tertiary Education is a veritable means for ensuring individual and national development. It fosters the restoration and transformation of societies, and produces high level manpower for all facets of the economy. It is more useful when every qualified individual is given the chance and privilege to receive quality education in a conducive and promising environment, even at the tertiary education level. The wide spectrum of education given to all, irrespective of physical, mental or emotional disadvantages or disabilities is referred to as inclusive education. The paper examined the planning requirements for inclusive tertiary education in Nigeria. It discusses the concepts of inclusive tertiary education, planning requirements for inclusive education, potentials, challenges and implementation strategies for inclusive education. It was suggested that governments at all levels of governance should encourage inclusive tertiary education, by not only providing the funds needed for infrastructure, but also increase awareness campaigns in collaboration with non-governmental organisations and educational agencies to eliminate the stigma associated with disabilities in order to encourage social demand for tertiary education by people with disabilities as well as to promote social support for inclusive education.
Keywords: Challenges, Inclusive Education, Planning Requirements, Potentials, Tertiary Education.
