From the study, the causes of late payment of school fees in secondary schools were high poverty levels within area of study , students behaviors’ , high cost of living, wide spread of unemployment among people living in area of study , family status (single parents ). All these factors contributed to improper functioning of institutions concerning reduced students concentration in classes, high degree of absenteeism among students, inadequate syllabus coverage, delayed payments of teachers’ salaries, stress and frustration among school administers and teachers among others.
