The method adopted was simple percentage and inferential statistical tool for the analysis of data. The findings of the study revealed that the claims of the Maintenance department to practicing combined maintenance of planned and unplanned are faulted. Findings revealed that they lacked the wherewithal to make it a success. This paper recommends that budget allocation for maintenance of tertiary institutional buildings be made by the government in view of the inflationary trend in the economy, adequate and skilful staff should be provided for the maintenance department to avoid delay in job execution, while rate of response to maintenance request, repair to damages and faults identified should be made faster.
