Abstract: Man is constantly in interaction with his world; these include the world of animals, plants, other living and non-living things, both physical and abstract. Ever since man emerged from the primitive stage into his current civilized status, he has had to wonder about the information he constantly receives from his environment; whenever he, therefore, exercise faculty or power of reason to draw conclusions or inferences from fact of experience or promises, he is said to be engaged in reasoning. The search for reliable knowledge through valid reasoning led to the development of what is known today as scientific or critical reasoning; this seems to suggest that critical reasoning belongs only to the scientists; however, this is incorrect. Critical method of reasoning is applicable to a wide range of subjects like the natural sciences, social sciences, history, literature, and philosophy. Logically, these disciplines are complementary in nature, therefore, collaborative research is inevitable among researchers in Nigerian’s tertiary institutions; and that is our objective in this paper.
