Abstract: This work focused on the infrastructural facilities and academic performance of students in Imo state university, Owerri. Relevant literatures were reviewed in line with the objectives of the study and hypotheses. Two theories were reviewed, but the work was anchored on the resource base theory. The researcher adopted the survey research design; the multi stage sampling technique was adopted. The primary and secondary sources of data collection technique was employed. The primary source include the questionnaire, while the secondary sources are: journals, text book, articles etc. Our data were presented using simple percentages and tables, while the hypotheses were tested using the chi-square statistical tool. It was found out that the availability of infrastructural facilities such as conducive class rooms, well equipped libraries and ICT facilities has enhanced improved academic performance. I recommend that school management should provide more infrastructures such as conducive class rooms, well equipped libraries etc in order to motivate the students to read, which could also lead to increase in students’ academic performance
