This study examined effects of the constant strike on the Nigerian public university system, using Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye as case study. The Max Weber’s Social Action Theory and Relative Deprivation Theory serves as the theoretical background upon which the study is anchored. The study adopted survey research method. The population of the study comprised of 5,581 final year students and 625 OOU-ASUU chapter, making 6,206. A sample size of 362 was arrived at, using Krejcie & Morgan sample table. The researcher designed separate research instruments (questionnaires) to collect data from the students and staff of the university. The data was analyzed using SPSS and the data was presented using tables and descriptive analysis. The results revealed that the frequent strikes actions reduced the quality of education and ASUU strike has been a major factor why some students go to private university. The result also showed that the disruption of the school calendar has a negative influence on academic performance of students. However, the strike has not led to any improvement in staff welfare, and the salaries of academic staff have been reviewed because of the ASUU strike. The study concludes that the objectives of the strike has not been achieved, rather, it has set the university education backwards. The study recommends that government should pay more attention to the education sector and provide academic facilities that will enable a conducive learning and working environment for both staff and students in universities. Student should also maximize the strike period in writing professional exams or acquire vocational skills to help improve their mental capabilities Keywords: ASUU Strike, Nigeria Educational System, Industrial Action, OOU, Students Word Count: 289enASUU StrikeNigeria Educational SystemIndustrial ActionOOUStudentsThesis
