The findings of this study were; financial resources affected implementation of performance contract in tertiary institutions to a very great extent. Also there is a significant relationship between financial resource and implementation of performance contract in tertiary institutions to a very great extent {r(63) = 0. 78, p <0.05}. There is a strong positive relationship between structure of PC and implementation of performance contract {r(63) = 0.63,p <0.05}. Based on the findings the study recommended that the Government should release financial resources in good time to enable the officers implement performance contracting.
