Abstract

In spite of tough measures adopted by university authorities and government to manage conflicts on campuses, the conflicts continue to occur. This paper therefore, attempts to examine the organizational structure and communication in relation to conflict resolution in Nigerian universities. The paper concludes that ineffective use of committee system and poor communication system have largely contributed to the adoption of ineffective administrative measures to manage crises, hence, the re-occurrence of such crises. It is therefore, recommended that finding a lasting solution to campus conflicts should not be a matter of patching up things but should involve the right use of committee system andeffective communication strategies.
