1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

This project is concerned with understanding the role and practices of industrial relation in Nigeria and how it promotes industrial harmony by emphasizing on the roles and effectiveness of the labour union executive in resolving industries conflicts.

This project shall rise to the challenge by stressing the role of the union executives by focusing on the questions of leadership quality, trade union education and experience, effective communication and management principles, the issue of financial rewards vis-à-vis the relationship between the executives and its members on one side and the employers (management) and employee (workers or union).

By the very nature of its formation and existence industrial organisation are perceived to have in its bowel, divergent and discordant interest, thus, making conflict within it inevitable, as it is also endemic in all human organisation.
