“…This finding supports that of Omoike andIdogho (2011) andHamphill, Grifiths andFredrickson (1992) who posit that gender of Head-Teacher is not a significant factor in the administrative roles of school leadership. Similarly, there was no significant difference in TimeActivities Mix of Head-Teachers by qualification.…”

Studies carried out by Omoike andIdogho (2011) andHamphill, Grifiths andFredrickson (1992) revealed that gender was not a significant factor in the leadership roles of school heads in carrying out their administrative activities.…”

“…These University Principal Officers are five (5) in number (National Universities Commission, 1999); (Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2001); (Mgbekem, 2004). At the apex is the Vice Chancellor while the Registrar, the Bursar, the Librarian and the Director of Works who are assumed to be at the same level are horizontal to each other Ekpo (2005); Omoike and Ogunu (2007). All other university members of staff who are not teaching (that is, the non-teaching members of staff), are under these principal officers depending upon their professions, qualifications, levels and experience (Uche et al, 2016); (Akpan, 2011).…”

This paper explains all the human resources (officers) that contribute in one way or the other towards the goals achievement of universities in Nigeria. It identifies these officers as those with aims, goals and objectives with strong desire for achievement. Specifically, it enumerates those charged and saddled with the ultimate responsibility of ensuring the achievement of both the individual and collective objectives on a day-today basis continuously. Finally, the paper concludes that it is only through the individual and collaborative functionalism of the five university principal officers that the effective and efficient achievement of university educational goals could be enhanced in Nigeria, particularly and also all over the world, generally.

“…A study carried out by Omoike and Idogho (2011) on administrative effectiveness between male and female heads of departments in Nigerian universities, showed that there was no significant difference in male and female leaders. Similarly, Hemphill, Griffiths and Fredrickson (1992) found in their study of 'Administrative Performance and Personality' in New York that male principals didn't demonstrate superior performance than their female counterparts.…”

This study examined principals’ administrative effectiveness in the implementation of quality assurance standards in public secondary schools in Edo and Delta States. To guide the study, three hypotheses were raised. The study adopted the descriptive research design. The population of the study comprised all the principals and teachers in the public secondary schools in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 240 principals and 720 teachers from the schools. Data was collected using ‘Administrative Effectiveness and Implementation of Quality Assurance Standards Questionnaire (AEIQASQ)’ to find out principals’ level of administrative effectiveness in the implementation of quality assurance standards using the Normative mean of 62.5 which was established from the instrument as the benchmark for effectiveness. The findings revealed that principals’ administrative effectiveness was high in the public secondary schools in Edo and Delta States. There was also a significant relationship between administrative effectiveness and implementation of quality assurance standards in the States based on principals’ gender and experience. It was therefore recommended that since principals in public schools are effective, Government should provide them with adequate funds and all necessary support to ensure that quality assurance standards are fully implemented in the schools. Also, experience and gender should be considered in appointing principals among other criteria as experienced female principals were found to be more effective.
