Academic Strikes Deteriorate Nigerias University Education Credibility, Experts Warn

The ongoing ASUU strikes have significantly impacted the credibility of university education in Nigeria, causing disruptions to learning and research activities. The prolonged industrial actions have raised concerns about the quality and reliability of tertiary education in the country.

The prolonged strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have had a significant impact on the credibility of university education in Nigeria, with many institutions experiencing disruptions to teaching and learning activities. The repeated disruptions have led to concerns about the quality and consistency of education being provided, as well as the trust that parents, students, and employers have in Nigerian universities. According to experts, the strikes have resulted in a decline in academic standards and a loss of confidence in the education sector, which could have long-term consequences for the country's human capital development. The ASUU strike has also exacerbated existing issues with infrastructure, resources, and funding, further eroding the credibility of university education.
