Exploring The Synergic Relationship Between Asuu And Federal Government In Restoring Industrial Harmony In Nigeria Public Universities

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 3

Abstract

The reoccurring nature of industrial unrest in Nigerian public universities impinges on the ethos of academic excellence thereby making the universities objects of caricature. Inadequate funding and poor state of educational facilities in public universities have provoked fear towards intellectual decline. This paper explores the synergic relationship between ASUU and FG. This study is anchored on the relative deprivation theory. It also adopted primary and secondary data from distributed copies of questionnaire, interviews, journal articles, textbooks and newspapers. This paper notes that something has to be done to avoid lecturers and professional researchers deserting the Ivory Tower. The poor state of facilities and infrastructure in the universities should immediately be revived. The study therefore, recommends that university education should be given a priority attention where the Federal government is expected to sincerely strive to meet internationally approved standard of funding the public universities. The Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity should be strengthened with appropriate legislation to persistently engage ASUU effectively in meaningful dialogue on the best practices in resolving industrial conflicts in Nigerian public universities.
