Abstract
This study investigated the perception of University of Ibadan Students on the effect of Academic Staff Union of Nigerian University (ASUU) Strikes on their academic performance. The survey research design was adopted using the multi-stage sampling procedure to select five faculties: Law, Pharmacy, Clinical Science, Agriculture and Technology and 376 final year students as sample. One research question and hypothesis guided the study. ASUU strikes and Students Perception on their Academic Performance Questionnaire (ASUUSSPAPQ) with ‘r=0.80’ using the cronbach alpha elicited data for the study. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test at p<0.005. ASUU strikes distort academic calendar at the university of Ibadan with SD = 0.092 (high), leads to students involvement in crimes SD = 0.97 (high), unbeneficial to students academics SD = 36 0.670 (medium). A non-significant relationship existed among gender opinions at (F= 0.070) t-0.265 ; p< 0.05 on ASUU strikes. The study recommended that government should employ prompt dialogue to prevent disruption and
total breakdown of the educational system, members and the executives of ASUU should employ other industrial dispute resolution strategies than indefinite strike actions which obviously paralyses student’s academics.
