Abstract: Secondary education is very important level of education in Nigeria where solid foundation for higher education and useful living is laid. The study investigated influence of Principals’ administrative strategies on school plant maintenance in Secondary schools in Benue State, Nigeria. Seven specific objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study while seven hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Survey research design was adopted and a population of 618 Principals and Vice principals from 309 public Secondary schools in Benue State was used. The sample size was the entire population which was effectively managed by the researcher. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled ‘Influence of Principals’ Administrative Strategies on School Plant Maintenance Questionnaire (IPASSPMQ)’. It was validated by experts and its reliability was established using Cronbach Alpha Method which yielded a coefficient of 0.82. Data collected for the study were analysed using Means and Standard deviation to answer the research questions while Chi-square was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that Principals’ planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting and budgeting strategies have significant positive influence on school plant maintenance in public secondary schools in Benue State, Nigeria. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended among others, that Principals should apply strategies of planning, organizing, staffing, maintenance, directing, coordinating, reporting and budgeting to effectively maintain secondary school plants in Benue State, Nigeria.
