Abstract

Weighing the challenges in Nigerian educational institutions, the sick role of Talcott Parson is deployed to examine the dysfunction of the institution. This paper engaged the theoretical perspective as well as relevant literature to investigate the challenges and suggested how to reduce undue interruption of academic activities caused mostly by strike actions. The paper contributed a logical conclusion that the education institution's sick role poses a great danger to both the institution system, staff welfare, student education process and society at large, hence, there is a need for a strongwill between government and the institutions labour union is necessary to address the challenges in Nigerian Educational Institutions. In addition, the government should deploy appropriate legal action for negotiating the demands of labour unions effectively before strike actions.
