The value of the products of our higher institutions have been assessed by many researchers as reported in classical literature and this motivated efforts calling for revitalization of higher education in Nigeria. There is growing concern over the quality of graduates as public and private employers increasingly found them unemployable, considering them as lacking in key practical and critical thinking skills. A study of the labour market for graduates found that employers believe that tertiary institutions graduates are poorly trained and unproductive on the job, and shortcomings are particularly severe in oral and written communication, and in applied technical skills (Dabalen, et al., 2000). Ajake, Oba and Ekpo (2014), noted that higher education plays a vital role in any country’s socio-economic development, as it turns out skilled workforce and experts, who give instruction to unskilled and semi-skilled workers, thinks ahead of developmental activities and forecast solutions of activities. The role of higher education in Nigeria should be to equip the youths with the required norms, values, knowledge, skills and abilities which will prepare them for greater challenges in the future for positive impact in the country’s development. Frequent closure of schools as a result of unresolved labour disputes between the government and staff unions like Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is a major challenge to quality assurance in institutions of higher learning. Apart from disruption of academic activities, the incessant closures lead to decline in productivity, reduction in quality and standards of academic activities, and also grossly affect the students’ progress. Asiyai (2006), identified “the variables inducing the frequent trade union disputes as poor conditions of service of staff, non-implementation of ASUU/FGN or SSANU/FGN agreements, lack of autonomy and academic freedom and poor funding. The frequent disputes and strike galore by university staff and students leave students with little or no time to complete both their theoretical and practical work.” ASUU as a stakeholder has been struggling since 2009 with FG on issues of revitalizing higher education in Nigeria. ASUU declared a total and indefinite strike over the failure of the Federal Government (FG) to keep the 2019 Memorandum of Action (MoA) and over the lingering crisis on the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS). On several instances ASUU has gone on strikes following repeated failures of the FG of Nigeria in providing the needed infrastructure and poor funding of the educational sector. This situation resulted to various FG-ASUU MoUs and MoAs of 2009 and 2019 respectively. Earlier writers have also reported noncompliance of FG of Nigeria to the agreements of the MOAs-MOUs reached. I am writing because ASUU is on strike for they are insisting on revitalizing the tertiary education in Nigeria. Also, the general public (parents and students) seem not to understand why ASUU is on strike and that we don’t understand the value of highly skilled professionals in our tertiary institutions. When you visit our primary and secondary schools, you find out that it is very difficult to provide basic education to our youths because of absence of basic infrastructures for teaching and learning. Basic education is a panacea for solving problems such as illiteracy, ignorance, religious violence, insecurity and political servitude. It is also the fuel to a better society. The poor funding of primary and secondary education by government resulted to the emergence of the private schools that the poor masses cannot afford because of the high fees being charged. The poor funding of public primary and secondary education by government has resulted to turning out of secondary school graduates or school leavers that lack basic educational foundation and cannot compete favourably with their counterparts from other schools. ASUU is on strike because of poor funding of tertiary/higher education. Higher education is pursed in Nigeria at the universities, colleges of technology, colleges of education, polytechnics, etc. Advanced teaching and researches are carried out in these institutions to produce seasoned Teachers, Technologists, Engineers, Nurses, Pharmacists, and Doctors and to mention but a few. Recall that ASUU is on strike because they are demanding from their employer instruments and better conditions for sustainable teaching and research. ASUU is on strike, for appropriate budget to be made for the educational sector.
