Abstract

This paper discussed conflict management strategies in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The paper used documentary research methods, hence secondary sources of data were collected from both print and online publications. The paper revealed that accommodation, avoidance, collaboration, competition and compromise are the conflict management strategies available for management, staff union and staff of tertiary institutions to adopt to fulfil the purpose of establishing and siting tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Based on this, the paper recommended that the managers of tertiary institutions in Nigeria should organize conflict management strategy workshops regularly for both management and staff of tertiary institutions to enhance efficiency in the workplace and achieve its mandate of socio-economic development which is the rationale for creating tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
