Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviations were used in answering the research questions while the chi-square (x2) test of goodness off it was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that influence of teachers' in-service training and influence of teachers' participation in decision making significantly influenced the administration of secondary schools in a globally depressed economy.
