Nigeria; stakeholders‟ consideration on library facilities planning in public senior secondary

in public senior secondary schools in North-west Zone, Nigeria. Research questions and
hypotheses were set according to the stated objectives. A descriptive survey research design
was adopted to collect data from the respondents. The total aggregate population for the
study was 34,038 while the total sample size was 381. The instrument used for the collection
of data was questionnaire. The instrument was validated by experts in educational
administration and planning and Supervisors of this research work. Stratified sampling
technique was employed for this study. The data were analyzed and interpreted through the
use of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Out of the seven hypotheses tested, four were
rejected while three were retained. The findings of the study revealed that stakeholders
considered that administrative facilities planning in public senior secondary schools in North-
West Zone, Nigeria were not appropriately planned. This was supported by the aggregate
mean of 2.8 on table 4, facilities for convenience in public senior secondary schools in
North-West Zone, Nigeria were relatively adequate, with school cafeteria, staff bus and hand
washing facilities not properly planned in the school planning document. This was supported
by the aggregate mean of 3.2 on table 5, playgrounds were not properly planned. This was
supported by the aggregate mean of 3.0 on table 6 and among others. It was therefore
concluded that for effective implementation of educational programme in public senior
secondary schools in North-west Zone Nigeria, variables of school plant planning must be
appropriately designed and implemented. It was therefore recommended that when planning
school plant, administrative facilities should be appropriately designed and the buildings
should be central to the school and visitor access because it is school‟s access control point,
so visibility and easy way finding is important and it is advised that school-based
health/welfare advisory committee should be constituted in each school to include teachers,
students, parents and community representatives. The committee should facilitate
communication with the groups or individuals that are interested in school health/welfare
services. This study will therefore, contribute to the body of knowledge in that, it will remind
all the relevant stakeholders and the general public that no matter how teachers are
professionally trained, if school plant is not appropriately planned and effectively
implemented then the expected quality output in our secondary schools will be a mirage.
