摘要：University system, all over the world, most especially in Africa had witnessed various social unrest traceable to social factors such as; student-management dichotomies, disagreement between staff unions and university management, external and political interferences, gangsterism, among others. These in our observations and experiences had impeded in so many ways, the speedy actualisation of the predetermined goals and objectives of the university system. We recognised that solutions to this lacuna were propounded by various scholars and educational agencies, despite these interventions, the problem still persist. In lieu of this, Ubuntu philosophy, is presented as an alternative process, input and output to mitigating the challenges of social unrest in the university system. This argument was made to answer the prevailing question of; how can Ubuntu, the philosophy of love, oneness, humanity and togetherness be used to unravel social unrest in the University system? The study is situated in transformative paradigm. The analysis was done using Socio-thematic Analysis where Ubuntu praxis and literature on students’ unrest constitute the data and argument in order to present an alternative strategy that could ensure peaceful university operations. We concluded that honest practices, humanity, social inter-dependency and togetherness via unity of purpose are dimension of peace and tranquility in the university system with recommendation all stakeholders should be trained and retrained on the importance of ubuntu, while ubuntu practices as a compulsory module or course is recommended for students.
