Relationship between School Facilities Administration and Maintenance Efficiency and Academic Performance of Senior Secondary School Students in Adamawa State, Nigeria
I n spite of efforts by government to improve Nigerian systemof education different kinds of problems ranging from mismanagement of resources to declining in standard of education are being experienced (Olaniyan & Anthony, 2013). This according to Amuche, Amuche, Bello and Marwan (2014) result in poor performance of students in external examinations such as the Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE) organized by West African Examination Council (WAEC). Public outcries about the dilapidated nature and poor maintenance of available school facilities have yielded little or no result in Nigeria. This is because school administrators seem not to show much effort in tackling the problems as evidenced by poor handling of the facilities (Danjuma & Adeleye, 2015). This is why a casual visit to any public secondary school in Nigeria(Abah, 2016) reveals the extent to which school facilities have decayed.
