The researcher used descriptive survey research design for the study. The population of the study consisted 750 SSII biology students in 29 public secondary schools in Ezeagu Local Government Area. 10 public secondary schools out of 29 were sampled for the study and a sample size of 15 students each from the 10 schools were selected using purposive random sampling techniques.

The result also revealed that students have very positive attitudes towards the use of improvised materials while teaching. On the academic achievement, the result revealed that there was a significant effect on students’ academic achievement. Based on the findings and implications, it was recommended that teaching biology in secondary schools should be conducted in a manner that students will effectively understand and learn the concept taught. Teacher – student relationship should be boosted as it encourages teaching. Government, philanthropists and the PTA should contribute generously financially, to the promotion of improvisation in secondary schools in Ezeagu Local Government Area.
