A trial test was done to assess the reliability of the instrument (IEROMQ) by evaluating its consistency. The data obtained was subjected to Cronbach Alpha Reliability Estimates that yielded coefficient of 0.85 which was considered that the instrument is good for the study. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation were used in answering the research questions, while Chi-square of Goodness of fit (x2) was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed that human resources statistically have significant impact on the effective management of secondary schools and materials resources have no statistically significant impact on the effective management of secondary schools.
