The accessibility and utilization of chemistry learning resources amongst 200 students in 4 randomly selected secondary schools in Kuje, Abuja. A well-structured descriptive survey utilizing a comprehensive questionnaire was used and was statistically analyzed (at P< 0.05). The results showed that in 3 of the schools, resources were available and utilized. However, STEM-involving activities rated very low in all four schools. There is a positive association with no significant difference between the availability and use of chemistry learning resources, but a non-significant negative association between schools with and without adequate learning resources. Important recommendation for teachers, instructors, related institutions and government authorities on making intentional efforts on the availability and use of STEM and other science-related resources is essential as this would boost and develop practical scientific, social and leadership skills.
