Abstract: The purpose of this study is to ascertain the Extent of Availability and Use of Instructional Materials for Teaching of Economics in Senior Secondary Schools in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State. The study adopted descriptive survey design. One structured research question and one hypothesis guided the study. The population was consisted of 9 economics teachers in Nkanu- west local government area of Enugu. Only 9 secondary schools out of 22 secondary schools offer economics as a subject and was covered as the population. Sample represents consisting of 100% of the total population of the study. The instrument used was validated for the reliability of this study, the researcher employed a Test-Retest method. The data obtained was used to compute the reliability coefficient using the Pearson Product moment coefficient based on the four degree of responds, which gave a result of 0.93 using its formula; Mean statistics and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the X2 was used in testing the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings from the study shows that, it is very clear that the Secondary Schools which the government promised to fund and equip for Economics under the new policy on Education are both starved of fund and support. The table shows that there are few instructional materials for teaching and learning of Economics. Based on the findings the study recommends that the government both federal and state should organize orientation programme conferences, seminars and short-term training programmes to acquaint the teachers with improvisation of instructional materials and how use of these new technologies. Economics teachers should be made to understand the importance of using instructional materials and also understand that skill learning activity is different from ordinary theoretical learning.
