Abstract	:	The exit of academics from Nigerian universities has reached alarming proportions. The article highlights the causes and effects of this exodus. Among the causes of the flight has been the pervasive insecurity of life under military rule and the abject poverty which the unconditional implementation of SAP has heightened. The exodus has resulted in the loss of experienced academics, specialists and administrators, with a corresponding fall in the standards of education. This drain has undermined the leadership role of Nigeria in Africa.
