The frequency of these circles of crises over some time has resulted in what is referred to as an 'academic pandemic'. This paper examined the factors responsible for a state of emergency in the Nigerian education sector and the roles of leadership in the management of these challenges. Relevant secondary data sourced from both print and online resources were arranged into themes and analyzed for contents holistically and historically in line with the interpretive research paradigm. The study suggests that the crisis-laden education sector needs a general overhaul that targets its establishment, operations and outcomes. A sustainable leadership approach is required for structural, cultural, safety, legislative and humanitarian factors that limit accessibility to quality education.
