The recent strike action in Nigeria’s university system and the responses of various key stakeholders call for a reappraisal of the system. The reappraisal becomes necessary in the light of the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) – an emergency situation – during the strike action; the emerging sensibilities among academic staff as a result of differences in the ideologies that birthed and sustained the strike; and the dwindling ranking of Nigeria’s public universities in relation to other universities on the African continent.
