Abstract
Cultism has become an instrument of social destabilization in the present day Nigeria society. It was known to be at its peak in tertiary institutions before. Nowadays, it has expanded its territories to secondary schools, primary schools and the society at large. Each day, innocent students, especially new intakes are being coerced into joining cult groups to protect themselves and unknowingly to them; fall victim of this menace and consequently this has had adverse effects on these innocent students. This social vice is eating up the educational and moral standard of students, and it is a problem in Nigerian institutions which has not been fully tackled. This paper, therefore, discusses cultism, reasons why students join cults, effects of cultism and parental and social interventions strategies that could be used in curbing cultism among undergraduates in Nigerian universities. It is hoped that if these strategies are put in place, eradication of cultism or its reduction to the barest minimum could be achieved among students.
