This study investigates the school security measures and staff job performance at public secondary schools located in Ilorin Metropolis, which is situated in Kwara state, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey research design of the ex post facto. A sample of 20 public senior secondary schools in Ilorin Metropolis was selected purposively from three local governments in Ilorin. Three research hypotheses were formulated for the study.

The findings of the study revealed that there was a significant relationship between the school security measures and staff job performance at public secondary schools located in Ilorin Metropolis. In conclusion, ensuring school safety implies freedom from risk, protection of lives and properties of the school members and the school, and reduction of intra and inter-school conflict while upholding quality education.Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that the school management should take the issue of security as a matter of priority in Kwara State, Nigeria.
