Abstract
This research was necessitated the huge amount of money annually budgeted to fund Nigerian
Universities, and the fact that the quantum of money expended does not have significant impact
on labour turnover. Support funds generated from internal and external sources to complement
government effort do not improve the labour turnover condition. To address these problems, the
study assesses the impact of labour turnover on the productivity of academic staff in Ahmadu
Bello University, Zaria. In addition, it also evaluates factors responsible for and assesses the
perception of academic staff on the significance of labour turnover factors in the University. To
achieve the stated objectives, descriptive/survey research method was adopted for the study. The
main instruments used to collect relevant data for the study were questionnaires and
documentary sources. Questionnaire responses were collected and analyzed. Chi-Square
technique was employed to test the three hypotheses formulated for the research. The study
found that responses on factors that determine labour turnover, show that remunerations
particularly for the academic staff of the University consider or inform their decision to stay in
service. It was also revealed that contribution received from internal and external sources have
positive relevance to labour turnover. This study also recommended that adequate funding is
needed in order to enhance effective learning and research and the retention of academic staff.
There should also be judicious utilization of support funds generated internally and externally by
the University management
