Abstract: Many organisations, including tertiary institutions in Nigeria, continue to struggle with creating a truly inclusive work environment despite the growing recognition of the value of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Additionally, only a few studies have been conducted in Nigeria to examine the relationship between organisational culture and diversity and inclusion management in tertiary institutions. It is against this background that this study was embarked upon. A survey research design was adopted for the study, and the population comprises members of the academic staff of selected tertiary institutions in Ogun State, which are Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, D. S. Adegbenro Polytechnic and Ogun State Institute of Technology. A sample size of 278 was derived from a total population of 970 using Krejcie and Morgan’s (1970) formula. A structured questionnaire was utilized to collect information from the selected respondents from these institutions. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of SPSS version 25. The analysis showed that organisational values and norms positively impact diversity and inclusion management and employee engagement in the studied tertiary institutions. The federal character provision also significantly promotes diversity and inclusion in Nigeria. Consequently, it was concluded that organisational culture greatly affects diversity and inclusion management. The study recommends making inclusivity and diversity a top priority for modern organisations.
