ABSTRACT
This study assess the Impact of ASUU Strikes on the State of Learning Facilities in Benue State University from 1999-2015 with the objective of determining how the strikes has impacted on Laboratory facilities; student hostel; library facilities; classroom facilities; staff accommodation and how the strike can be used to improve learning facilities in the study area. The study employed the theory of class struggles and Lenin‟s Contributions on Strikes as the theoretical framework. The study respondents consist of all the University stakeholders who include the University management staff, academic and non-academic staff,ASUU officials and students. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection were employed in the study. Questionnaire was administered on Respondents as instrument for collecting quantitative data,while in-depth interview guide, observation guideand photographic still images were usedin generating qualitative data. The study selected 395 respondents and 15 key informants through multi-stage and purposive samplingmaking a total of 410 respondents because only the beneficiary of ASUU strikes intervention can validly respond to questions that can assess the impact of the strikes. The quantitative data collected were analysed using SPSS version 20.0 and the results were presented in frequencies and percentage table, while the qualitative data were analysed thematically using content analysis in line with the study objectives.Findings revealed that ASUU strikes have contributed to provision of learning facilities in the study area. But, despite this intervention, the laboratory facility provided lack adequate capacity and furniture to cater for the students that use the facilities and there is inadequate supply of chemicals and reagents for student‟s use in the laboratory, while most of the equipment provided in the laboratory no longer function. The hostel is also found to be inadequate for students hence, about 7-9 persons occupy a room and there are no adequate toilets and bathroom, while the level of sanitation is poor resulting in the facility not being conducive for learning as indicated by 64.6% of the respondents. The study further revealed that 58% of respondents are dissatisfied with the library books and journal because they are outdated. However, 97.1% of the respondents described the classroom facility provided as conducive because its capacity and facilities provided are adequate. The study further revealed that ASUU strikes can be used to pressure government for adequate funding of Universities in order to improve learning facilities becausefinance is the bedrock of every organization including the University. The study recommends that learning facilities should be provided by government adequately in relation to the number of students that will make use of such facilities and current literature should be provided in the library to facilitate quality of learning.
