Abstract:	The study examines public policy on wage administration and collective bargaining against the persistent industrial relations crisis that attends public sector wage adjustment in Nigeria. Politicization of wage adjustment in the 1970s by periodic wage commissions has been complicated by the attempt to harmonize wages across the public sector. The latter virtually choked up collective bargaining machineries in the public sector. The paper calls for the decentralization of wages and collective bargaining in order to free the collective bargaining machineries, and the streamlining of supportive institutions for wage administration.
