Nwosu, (1996) postulated that to improve performance and higher productivity in the office, consideration must be given to the state of the following: lighting, cleanliness and management policies that trait student especially secretaries with fairness, provide then with recreational facilities. The provision of these entire in place for students learning will increase their performance.
The nature of the social learning environment to a great extent contributed to the performances of students. According to Azuka and Agomuo (1993) “good human relation has it’s basis on the biblical injunction often referred to as the golden rule which says “do unto them that you would like them to do unto you”. In the institution where there is food human relation among the lectures and the students, it will go a long way to contribute to their performance, but student will feel bad and demoralized where the environment is not free and conducive for them, this would affect their performance.
The availability of material resources for learning to a great extent influences the student’s performance.

If students were over populated in class and there were no enough materials for learning. It will have effect over their performance.
However, it has been notice that some lecturers are not being fixed at the appropriate time. In arranging for lecturers time table, human resources should be considered by knowing that human beings at any point in time gets to their saturated point when some lecturers are being fixed at the time.
