Primary data and secondary data were used to provide empirical support for the paper. Online publication and print materials on secondary school administration within and outside Nigeria were sourced and used. The paper identified inadequate funding, shortage of professional teachers, inadequate infrastructural facilities, inadequate instructional materials and over-population. To address these problems, the writers came out with the following suggestions that; the federal capital territory administration should increase the funding, employ more professional teachers, infrastructural facilities, instructional materials, fight corruption, provide adequate security in all public secondary schools, and improve supervision of all public secondary schools in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
