    The study assessed the maintenance strategy commonly put in place for Business Education teaching facilities in public Tertiary institutions in Kwara State, Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to find out the state of the teaching facilities, and the type of maintenance strategies adopted. To achieve the purpose of the study, three research questions and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design using all the lecturers and students of business education departments in public tertiary institutions in Kwara State. Data were collected using researchers’ designed questionnaire tagged Maintenance Strategies for Business Education Facilities Questionnaire (MSBEFQ). The mean, percentage, as well as standard deviation statistical tools were used to answer the research questions while independent sample t-test was used to analyze the null hypotheses. The findings revealed that business education facilities in most of the institutions are generally in a state of disrepair. There was low maintenance of teaching facilities in business education departments. Both lecturer and student respondents were in agreement as to the low level of maintenance of business education facilities in public tertiary institutions in Kwara State. Lecturer and student respondents were positively in agreement with the suitable maintenance strategy useful for business education facilities. It is recommended that departmental heads should develop appropriate maintenance strategy/ policies and make regular checks by inspecting the facilities as a routine, carry out regular servicing of the electronic gadgets, inculcate good maintenance strategy and ensure that adequate money is allocated in the departmental budget for effective maintenance of the facilities
