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.
