LAW AND INDUSTRIAL STRIKE ACTION IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

Industrial strike actions in Nigerian universities disrupt academic activities, impact students, and affect the overall quality of education. This discussion examines the law governing strike actions, common causes, challenges, and recommendations for managing disputes. Key issues include poor working conditions, salary disputes, and governance issues. Effective communication, dialogue, and conflict resolution mechanisms are crucial in preventing and resolving strike actions. By addressing these issues, Nigerian universities can promote a stable academic environment, benefiting students, staff, and society.
