of the main administrator of these schools.To achieve this is through in-depth interviews with 10 principals of unity schools selected purposively in North Central Nigeria, this study has discovered that apart from the leadership styles of the principals, government policy
which failed to involve the school principals is
challenge to smooth school management.Interview
data were analyzed thematically using NVivo 10
