Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the availability and utilization of laboratory resources and achievement of students in Senior Secondary School Chemistry. Participants were 120 SS III students and five Chemistry teachers in the selected Secondary Schools in Ijebu Ode Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Thereby leading to the attainment of scientific and technological advancement of the state and the Nation at large. Based on this, it was strongly recommended that Student should be encouraged to fully involve in the practical class activities so that the teaching and learning of chemistry will real and effective not only for passing an examinations but for the acquisition of skills that will be needed in future.
