Abstract: This study investigated the management of operations of Security Guards as a correlate of school effectiveness in tertiary educational institutions in Kebbi State. The study assessed the awareness of basic security operations and the quality of planning of security operations. The extent which these variables of awareness and planning of security are related to school effectiveness was determined. In conducting the study, 150 participants were deliberately selected to comprise 39 school managers and 111 security guards from three selected educational institutions. A descriptive survey design of the correlation type was adopted for the study. Self-designed and validated instrument with reliability index of .87 was used to collect data. Standard deviation, z-scores and Pearson correlation coefficient at 0.05 alpha kevel were used in analyzing the data. It was found that the level of awareness of roles by security guards and the quality of planning of security operations were rated low even though the two variables were significantly correlated to school effectiveness. It was therefore recommended that school managers should device enlightenments strategies such as regular training workshops as well as scientific planning of security operations to provide a more secured school environment to enhance school effectiveness in tertiary educational institutions in Kebbi State.
