It was validated by experts in measurement and evaluation to ensure face and content validity, its reliability was done using split half method and a reliability coefficient of 0.76 was obtained using Pearson Product Moment correlation statistics. Findings revealed low availability of facilities for teaching and learning business education in the institutions, inadequate office accommodation, poor preparation for accreditation, inadequate funds provision, unavailability of facilities, provision as well as poor human resources provision.
