Keywords:
Community services, Effects, Higher education, Teaching, Researching, Programme UniversityAbstract
This paper looked at the effects of strike action on the Nigerian higher institutions programme or goals. The paper employed both primary and secondary data. Libraries and online resources were consulted and used in the paper. The paper concludes that strike actions in the Nigerian higher institutions have led to the suspension of the teaching programme, research programme, community service programme and programme accreditation of the various higher institutions. The paper also established that strike actions led to poor rating of higher institutions, reduction in internally generated revenue of the higher institutions, reduction in the quality of higher education, prolonged academic calendar, poor academic performance of students and brain-drain. To address these problems, the paper suggested the following; the government should increase the funding of higher institutions and implementation of all the agreement entered into with different union groups in the various higher institutions.
