This study was carried out to examine the effective use of instructional resources in improving the teaching and learning situation in Nigerian schools using selected schools in sagamu Local Government, Ogun State as case study. To achieve this 4 research hypothesis were formulated.  The survey design was adopted and the simple random sampling techniques were employed in this study. The population size comprise of the entire students and teachers of the selected schools in the study area. In determining the sample size, the researcher purposively selected 240 respondents while 200 respondents were validated. Self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected and validated questionnaires were analyzed using frequency tables and percentage. While the hypothesis were tested using Pearson Correlation and T-test statistical tool SPSS v23.

Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that the State Ministry of Education, Education Board should release fund to the various Zonal Education Offices and Local Education Authorities and the principals specifically for maintaining and repairing damaged equipment. This method will remove the protocol of applying, filling forms and awaiting for approval before money is released for the repair of every minor damage done to an equipment; Seminars, conferences and workshops on the relevance, production and improvisation of instructional materials should be organised during vocations by the State Ministry of Education and Education Board. These should be organized on Zonal Levels and Local Government basis to attract so many teachers as possible, because some teachers cannot operate some of the available instructional materials while some teachers do not know the functions of some instructional media just to mention but a few.
