A Conceptual Extension of the Conflict Theory on the Indices Influencing the Appointment of University Administrators in South-South Nigeria

Abstract

This paper intends to propose the extension of the conflict theory in the application of the indices that are account for the appointment of the principle officers of the universities in south-south Nigeria. This will be done through a conceptual and content analysis of secondary materials. However, the researcher intends to hinge this on the conflict theory of Karl Max. Meaning then that as the researcher would like to argue that the indices upon which administrators are pointed are likely to generate conflict in the system in the university authority do not stick to the functional role of the university
