Abstract
This study examines the influence of Resources maintenance on the provision of educational services in public and private secondary schools in Rivers State, Nigeria.

The study utilized a descriptive survey research design and stratified random sampling technique was used to sample seven hundred and thirty eight (738) principals and vice principals from the population of one thousand five hundred and fifteen (1,515) principals and vice principals of public and private secondary schools in Rivers States. Data were collected using researchers’ constructed questionnaire titled “Resource Maintenance for the Provision of Educational Services Questionnaire (RMPESQ)â€. The major limitation is that, is the terrain did not give us easy access to some areas for data collection.
