The descriptive survey design was employed in the study that covers all Secondary Schools in Kaduna Metropolis. Ten schools were randomly selected, while the respondents include 200 teachers, 10 principals and 20 staff of the Kaduna North Zonal Office of the Ministry of Education. Their responses were gathered using the questionnaire for the perception of stakeholders on the provision and maintenance of school plants (QPSPMSP). To give the general description of data, frequency tables and simple percentages were used. The testing of the hypotheses was done using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test.
The results showed that school plants were inadequately provided and where they were provided they were not maintained.

Digital facilities should be provided in schools and regular school inspection and good maintenance programme are recommended to protect the existing school plant.
