In addition, it established the influence of instructional materials on instructional quality in public primary schools in Southwestern Nigeria. This study adopted descriptive design with a sample size of 450 respondents selected from the population of the study with the use of multi-stage sampling procedure. Instructional Materials Availability, Utilization and Instructional Quality Questionnaire (IMAUIQ) was used to collect data from the respondents which was trial tested on 90 respondents from selected public primary schools in local governments outside the selected ones for the study.
