摘要：The study investigated perceived causes and control of students’ crises in higher institutions in Lagos State, Nigeria. The population comprised all students, staff, students’ union executive members and heads of the six sampled higher institutions. Four structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 954 samples used for the study. A test-retest method with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.84 was used to determine the reliability of the instruments. Data collected were analyzed using percentages, frequency counts, correlations analysis and t-test through the SPSS package. The findings revealed the following: state- owned higher institutions were more prone to students’ crises than federal institutions; increase in tuition fees and inadequate attention to students’ welfare were major causes of student crises whiles stable and moderate tuition fees was perceived as a good control measure to curb students’ crises. It was recommended that more funds be allocated to higher institutions and students should be involved in decision-making particularly on issues affecting their welfare.
