Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - Economy and Industry, University of Ibadan (Faculty of the Social Sciences), language: English, abstract: The paper through critical analysis of available literature, and analysis of data from secondary sources such as official publications, journals, and conference papers aims to examine the Nigerian industrial relations system for its contending issues and challenges. The complex employment interrelationship between the Nigerian government, labour unions, organizations’ management, and employers' associations has been a rocky one. The goal of the interrelations which is to facilitate economic growth and assist all parties to achieve their objectives is menaced by incessant conflicts and a high level of strike propensity. It was found that certain contradicting issues and challenges are apparent in the regulatory framework and administering bodies thus leading to ineffectiveness and inefficiency. Challenges such as insincerity of involved parties, tailoring of the system towards western models, and other political and economic factors are also inhibiting the system.
