Abstract: This study examined the relationship between utilization of integrative funding (with particular reference to funds from government budgeting allocations and international bodies) and effective administration of secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. It adopted a correlational design, used linear regression to answer research questions and analysis of variance (ANOVA) method to test its hypotheses of 0.05 level of significance. The results showed there was high positive correlation between utilization of government budgetary allocations, utilization of funds from international bodies and effective administration of secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. The study, based on its findings, recommended that government and policy makers should formulate policies that would ensure strict compliance to judicious utilization of budgetary allocations by school principals since it correlates with effective administration. Secondary school administrators should source for funds from international agencies and ensure that such funds are adequately utilized.
