    The paper is an empirical interrogation into the relationship between library innovation, financial accountability in library, and academic performance in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for this research through the administration of likert-scale questionnaire to randomly selected academic staff in Edo State, Lagos State, and Abuja, Nigeria. They constituted the sample size as representative of large number of academicians in Nigeria.The Cochran (1977) formula was used in arriving at a sample size from the large population, while primary data for the study were derived through the means of well-structured questionnaire administered on randomly selected sample respondents. A Cochran sample size, of four hundred and twenty (420) copies of questionnaire were administered, while about 395 copies were retrieved. After sorting for defects and mutilated copies, 384 copies were used for the study. Frequencies, percentages, and inferential statistics were used to analyze the responses. The findings showed that, on average, there was a significant correlation between academic performance at Nigerian tertiary institutions and library innovation, as well as a significant correlation between financial accountability in libraries and academic performance in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Based on these results, it is advised that the appropriate government authorities develop policies as soon as possible to bring about the desired improvement in tertiary education performance, with a focus on strengthened financial accountability in library systems throughout Nigerian tertiary institutions and better library innovation.
