The population consisted of all academic and non†academic staff of 291 tertiary institutions in the six geoâ€political zones of the federation of Nigeria: Northâ€Central, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southâ€south and Southwest. A sample of 100 academic staff and 100 nonâ€academic staff were selected by stratified random sampling method from each geographical zones of the federation. A total sample of 600 academic staff (300 males and 300 females) and 600 nonâ€academics staff (300 males and 300 females) participated in the study. The data for the study was collected using the questionnaire titled Effective Supervision Inventory (ESI). The validity of the questionnaire was done by experts in educational administration and planning. The reliability of the instrument was tested using a Splitâ€Half Method. The correlation coefficient was corrected by the use of Spearman Brown Formula. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was .76 and final Spearman Brown Formula yielded 0.86. The statistics used were Zâ€test and percentage. The major finding was that supervision was not effective. This was highly due to challenges of insecurity in the economy and time constraint. Based on the finding, it was recommended that there was need to organize seminars, conferences and workshops to create public awareness on the importance of effective supervision.
