The ten hypotheses formulated were tested using independent t-test statistics for both category of respondents in the Colleges of Education in North Central Geopolitical Zone in Nigeria at 0.05 level of significance. All the ten hypotheses were rejected which meant there was no significant difference in the opinions of the respondents on the issues raised. Findings of the study revealed that the curricular of College of Education in the study area were obsolete and no adequate staff strength, both academic and management staff were not given equal opportunities to develop themselves, staff and management were not carried along in decision making and staff welfare such as accommodation, transportation, water, electricity were not adequately provided. Recommendations were made which included that the Colleges of Education should have their programs and policies properly planned and executed to achieve their goals and objectives, the Colleges of Education should sponsor their staff for development programmes through in-service training to update their knowledge, the Colleges should not depend on government subvention but to look inward for Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) to augment government efforts. Suggestions for further studies were proferred which included replication of the study in other Geo-Political Zones to encourage efficiency in the management of Colleges of Education across the country and critically assess management of other tertiary institutions in the country to ascertain their efficiency in terms of management and ultimately in the achievement of the National Educational goals.
