This paper aims at examining the maintenance practices as they affect public and private primary school buildings with a view to proffering solutions to issues of maintenance that would assist the government, as well as private primary schools owners. In pursuing this aim, the paper considers the existing maintenance practices on public and private primary school buildings; examining their physical condition and fitness for use. It also evaluates the users' level of satisfaction with the maintenance of such buildings and examines the determinants of maintenance standard for the school buildings. Secondary data were obtained from existing related literatures while primary data were obtained mainly through the use of questionnaire randomly administered on head teachers of the schools. Resulting data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman's rank correlation while test of hypothesis was conducted with student t-test. The findings revealed apathy in the maintenance of the school buildings, inadequacies in the building maintenance budget and significant differences in the building maintenance methods and practices in the private and public primary schools. Policy recommendations include proper budgeting for building maintenance, encouragement of maintenance personnel and adoption of efficient building maintenance method and manual in Nigerian schools.
