| dc.description.abstract | Casual work has consistently been a component of work in agriculture and previous studies have consistently regarded the working conditions of casual workers as an ordinary issue; thus, less consideration is paid on the workers quality of life particularly private own establishments. This study, therefore, examines casual workers working conditions in private university’s commercial farms in north-central, Nigeria using the Rational Choice Theory as its theoretical framework. Employing both survey and exploratory designs, the study combined primary and secondary research methods, selecting 103 respondents purposively through simple random sampling. The data collected were analysed using a triangulation of quantitative methods with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 used for the analysis of quantitative data. The study revealed that the working conditions of casual workers in these commercial farms significantly impact their perceptions, particularly concerning wages and job security. The study recommended an increased focus on improving the working conditions of casual workers in higher institution commercial farms, highlighting the need for enhanced provisions and attention to these workers’ well-being.
