Abstract
This study evaluates the provision and maintenance of infrastructural facilities in boarding
secondary schools in Yola metropolis. The researcher was interested to check whether there
is appropriate provision of infrastructural facilities to solve the problem of students’
overpopulation in classrooms, provision of laboratories and workshop facilities, the
accommodation of students and teachers, games facilities for students sporting activities and
water and electricity supply in boarding secondary schools. The study was a survey method
that covers all boarding secondary schools within Yola metropolis. The questionnaire was
used to collect relevant data. To give the general description of the data, frequency tables
and simple percentages were used. Six (6) hypotheses were formulated and the testing was
done by using analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that school facilities were
inadequately provided and where some of these were provided they were inadequately
managed. It was reveals that libraries, laboratories and workshops are not well equipped
and maintained, therefore, did not facilitate teaching and learning. It was also evident that
accommodation facilities are not enough for both staff and students. There was inadequate
supply of water and electricity in the boarding secondary schools in Yola metropolis. Game
fields are provided in all the schools, however, there were no sporting equipments.
Generally, there was lack of maintenance of infrastructural facilities in the schools. It was
recommended that Adamawa State government should make effort to provide the boarding
secondary schools with adequate school infrastructural facilities while school managers on
their part should put a system in place on maintaining and managing the facilities given to
their schools. The Ministry of Education officials should monitor and supervise the schools
on regular basis
