Abstract : The study examined the influence of Northern Nigeria crises on administrators’ job performance in public secondary school in Kogi Central Senatorial District of Kogi State. Three research questions were raised and three research hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The design of the study was ex-post facto. The study population consisted of 480 administrators and 1541 teachers in 136 (public and private) secondary schools in Kogi Central Senatorial District of Kogi State. The sample which comprised of 84 Secondary Schools, 253 administrators and 262 teachers were selected using multi-stage sampling technique. Two sets of instruments were used for data collection. The researcher developed two questionnaires titled “Influence of Northern Nigeria Crises Questionnaire (INNCQ) and Administrators Job Performance Questionnaire (AJPQ)”. INNCQ was responded to by the administrators while AJPQ was responded to by teachers. The reliability co-efficient of the instrument was determined using the Cronbach Alpha statistics. The Reliability index of 0.85 was obtained. Linear Regression Coefficient R was used to answer the research questions while Linear Regression Statistics was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The findings of the study revealed that Northern Nigeria crises (Kidnapping, Banditry and Farmers-Herders crisis variables) is significant to administrators’ job performance. This means that that administrators’ job performance is negatively influenced by Northern Nigeria crises (Kidnapping, Banditry and Farmers-Herders crisis variables). It was recommended that the government should revitalize and ensure the deployment of anti-kidnapping squad of the Nigeria Police Force to the affected areas in order to combat kidnapping.
