This paper examined the effects of strike actions on academic staff of public universities in Nigeria. Secondary data were used in the paper. The data were sourced from print and online publication. The paper identified death of academic staff, sickness, psychological-stress, wastage of manpower and reduction of morale of academic staff, stoppage of staff development programme, brain-drain, suspension of teaching programme and research programme as the effects of strike actions on academic staff of public universities in Nigeria. The paper recommended that the federal and state government should provide adequate funding to all public universities and implement agreements entered into with all trade unions in the public universities to avert strike actions in the public universities in Nigeria.
