Abstract :
This study examines the influence of managerial
competencies of administrators on resource management
in secondary schools in fagge and nasarawa local
government areas of kano state. The study involved 79
principals from public secondary schools within Fagge and
Nassarawa Local Government Area. Descriptive survey
design was employed, data collection utilized a 26-item
questionnaire titled "Managerial Competencies of
Administrators on Resource Management in Secondary
Schools (MCARMSS)." Pearson Product Moment
Correlation Coefficient was used in determining the
reliability of the instrument, resulting in a coefficient of
0.69. The findings revealed a lack of managerial
competencies among secondary school administrators in
Fagge and Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano
State in areas such as hiring qualified teachers, orienting
new staff and students, ensuring well-furnished
classrooms, delegating financial matters effectively, and
implementing cost-saving strategies for efficient human
and material resource management. However, the study
also identified managerial competencies in administrators
for prioritizing financial allocation based on school needs,
maintaining accurate financial records, generating
detailed financial reports, and involving department heads
in budget preparation for effective financial resource
management. In light of these findings, the study
recommends that school administrators actively acquire
and consistently apply managerial competencies.
Additionally, it suggests adopting a democratic approach
to school management and pursuing further training in
financial management skills as crucial steps toward
enhancing overall competence in resource management.
