A GAME THEORY FOR CONTROLLING STUDENTS’ UNREST ON NIGERIAN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

Many Nigerian Tertiary Institutions have experienced students’ crises which have had different consequences on different campuses including damage on Institutions’ facilities, unwanted change in academic calendar, loss of lives of either staff or students, and most times, incurring additional cost for the students by way of paying for damages. This research examined four popular strategies to manage students’ crisis when it erupts in a particular higher institution in Nigeria with the aim to determine the optimum strategy to be employed. This has provided scientific information to the authorities of Nigerian Higher Institutions in curtailing students’ riots on campuses.
