It was validated, pilot tested and found at 0.81 reliability coefficient. Mean, standard deviation and bar chart were used for descriptive analysis and chi-squire was used for inferential analysis. The research findings revealed that: all the five null hypotheses were rejected which further opined that, there was adequate enrollment in some junior secondary schools in the study area but in some schools like Government Day Junior Secondary School Garanda and Government Day Junior Secondary School Bulanguwa the students‟ enrolment was not encouraging; Yobe State Government is trying her best in the recruitment of Universal Basic Education teachers, but there are still challenges as regards to the teachers‟ posting to schools located in rural areas. However, politics and favourism have significant influence in the process of teachers‟ posting in the study area.
