This study is guided specific errand on a dissimilar dataset as in previous study but integrated in way of objective and approach. The study harmonizes the structural estimations concocted in previous studies concerning the impact, relations and associations of and/or amid the five main parameters to and/or amid the academic quality while addressing assortments of micro but different objectives under this errand. Since the previous studies aimed at explicating the comparative significance, directions and correlational characteristics of UJS & UON’s, the current study as partly an extrapolation for this: 1) does robustness diagnostics for the impacts and directions identified towards academic quality in previous study as well as affirming the consistency of the result; 2) innovatively implicates anew objective of the study when the paired homologous structural departments are implicated into the mediation and moderation relation effects, and how the integrative change the academic quality of their respective universities; 3) thirdly, the study integrates into new objective when their inter-correlational and analogous comparison is made to identify their temporal similarities and differences while addressing the gap and variance for academic development policy formulation.
