ABSTRACT
This study is on the “impact of
continuous strike on student academics performance in Nigeria higher
institutions”: A Case study of
University of Ibadan.
Objectives and statement of problem
were clearly stated. Review of related literature was extensively done
concerning concept of reason for strike. The paper has been able to identify
major causes of strike action and its effect on students’ academic performance
in tertiary institutions including the impact of strike action. The major
causes and their effects include poor wages among Nigerian worker which bring
about low performance on the part of lecturer and teacher in the school. The
government and employers of labour and students are responsible for initiating
strike.
Action has a great influence on the
academic performance of the students and nation economy. Bringing untold
hardship of living to the people. Lack of motivation for workers generally has
a significant effect on their performances.
For students to demand for their
rights, they embark on strike because it has been students and workers powerful
weapon undemanding for their right.
The discussion of data was done with
reference to finding in the data analysis. At the end, necessary suggestion and
recommendations were given to enhance further investigation on the study. The
University of Ibadan, Historical perspectives were included and Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU).
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background to the Study
Education is a crucial element in the process of human development be it
formal, informal and non-formal education, education is the light to all human
endeavours and it is always at various levels. We have it at the primary
school, secondary and post secondary levels.
For a country to develop
economically, technologically and to achieve her national objectives. There is
need for stability in all sectors of her national life including education
sector.
The importance of education cannot be
overemphasized, it helps to build manpower and prepare the citizen of a country
for self-reliance.
As useful as education is to human
development of any country than there is need for stable education. In the
recent past, there has been no smooth running of educational system in Nigeria.
Strike is now an element that the workers use to express their grievance.
There appears to be a general feeling
among workers that an employer will not recognize their importance unless and
until they have on strike with consequences of economic damage to employer. The
incessant strike action been witnessed in the educational sector calls for
concerns of all and sundry. Education is believed to be the major factor of
development in every civilized society.
The provision of educational system
for every country largely depends on many factors. Both the psychologists and
educationists are continuously emphasizing that there are clear evidences that
pupils’ success in the school is based on the effort of the teachers or
lecturers.
Strike can be described as a
situation whereby no work is done because of the disagreement between the
employer and the employee as short pay or working condition. Strike action
started in Nigeria in the 18th century and it has persisted up to this day.
Strike action in Nigeria can be traced back to 1897 when there was (3 days)
three days strike embarked upon by the artisan workmen in the “Public Work
Department in Lagos in Protest against the workmen’s hour.
The reaction of the then government
showed that it was really a combat between the colonial government and the
artisan workmen. Indeed, it could be said that by referring to the number of
strike and main-day lost whereby improving the total number of labour force,
Nigeria record might be regarded as satisfactory relations is the extent of
individual unrest as measured by the number of strike and total main-day lost
therein.
The numbers of main-days lost through
declared disputes were banned by law. More so, the fact that in the smaller
enterprises and industries has been weak, to that extent, thus means that
strike statistic did adequately measure the industrial situation.
Furthermore, the strike of the
Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) is another situation whereby students
in tertiary institutions were force to stay at home for months due to liability
of the management and the failure of government to provide a comfortable
working environment and good facilities in the University. This was one of the
various reasons why Staff Union of Universities indefinite strike action of
2003, was to press for adequate funding of Universities to provide necessary
infrastructure for teaching and research what happened reveals that, if the
educational sector is not properly handled and sponsored by the government and
put a stop to this problem, it could causes unrepairable damage to our
educational system.
1.2. Statement of the Problem
Strike has plainly become the order
of the day in our country and it is a common fact been witnessed in all aspects
of our national life.
However, the source of struggle in
this country are numerous some of which are particular to respective
organizations including territory institutions. Source of internal struggle
sometimes it may come from administrative styles. Nature of physical
environment of the work place, the condition of being a wake for promotion
system, wages and
cumbersomeness
of grievance and dispute procedures. The external source of struggle includes
government and economic policies. Nature of labour legislature, unpatriotic and
unethical behaviour of political class, nation economic, mismanagement and
general distribution of wealth and power in the society.
Similarly, in the year 2003, the
lecturers of University of Ibadan in conjunction with their counterparts in
other Universities embarked on strike action which lasted for six months (6
months) whereby students were compelled to stay at home. The strike action
embarked upon by Academic and Non-Academic Staff of the University, as a result
of the management’s failure are government’s insensibly to the provision of a
conducive working environment and adequate facilities in the school. Also, the
salaries and allowance were not prompted paid. All these culminated into strike
action.
1.3. Purpose of the Study

investigate the causes of strike and its effect on students’ academic
performance in tertiary institution in Nigeria.

- To find solution to common
strike that normally occurs among the government workers and students.

action as the only means of asking for workers right has been fruitful.
1.4. Research Questions
The study is designed to answer the
following research questions.
1. What are the causes of strike in tertiary
institutions?
2. How effective is strike action as a tool
in meeting worker demand?
3. Had the use of strike action as the only

1.5. Significance of the Study
This study is designed to investigate
the causes of strike and its effects on students academic performance in
tertiary institution in Nigeria and to examine the level at which lecturer
strike is affecting the life of the students both in their academic performance
and their future life as a whole.
To examine the causes and how
government, lecturer, students and parents reacting to the strike action which
in turn to affect the entire society and make the education of country
deteriorate.
The study is significant because it
is a bold attempt at probing into a subject generally considered a big problem
in the school system. This study is also significant because it will suggest
lasting solution aimed at reducing; if not totally eliminate strike action in
this country in general and University of Ibadan in particular. It will also serve as an eye-opener to the
employee that strike action is not the only means of demanding for the rights.
1.6. Scope of the Study

investigation into the causes of strike and its effects on students academic
performance in tertiary institutions” a case study of University of Ibadan
(UI).
1.7. Delimitation of the Study
In a research of this magnitude there
is no doubt that some problems were encountered by the researcher. In the
course of gathering the necessary data for the execution of the project. The
researcher met with a lot of constraint. There is also problem of reluctant
response of respondents to fill the questionnaire which make it hand to realize
the result fully. Some of these problems include that the time, attitude of
respondents and financial constraints for the study.
The time constraint has to do with
the limited period available to the researcher within which to complete the
project. Also, the attitude of respondents was a constraint because of the
general tendency for people to hide their feeling by the researcher data and
Institution University of Ibadan (U.I).
