This study examines the nature and effect of corruption regarding the continual strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Nigeria.
In order to guide this study, the author focuses on four research questions and a research hypothesis. A standard question was used as the major instrument for data collection from 100 officials of the three labour unions, ASUU, NASU and SSANU of Obafemi Awolowo University. These three groups are the main actors in industrial relations within the university system. 35 ASUU officials, 35 SSANU officials and 30 NASU officials were randomly selected using a random sampling technique.
The study concluded with a recommendation that the government should increase allocation to the Nigerian education sector in order to ensure the country’s education standard. Furthermore, the government should create a forum where prominent stakeholders of the two factions can meet continually to discuss matters of concern.
Regardless of the numerous advantages of university education in Nigeria, the educational sector still faces numerous challenges. Corruption is one of the major factors that have deterred the Nigerian educational sector from achieving optimum results and meeting up the requirements of the 21st century. It has led to an unprecedented level of industrial unrest and many official assaults.
