The findings of this study, the following conclusion can be derived. First, majority of social studies teachers made little or no use of community resources in enhancing their teaching of social studies. Second, the teachers identified such factors as lack of fund, inadequate training, lack of technological skills, and low teachers morale as inhibiting factors against the effective use of community resources. Thus, teachers? lack of community resources may be accounted for the constraints, which they face in using community resources. However, teachers? qualification had no significant influence on their use of community resources. However the interest of learners towards historys can be ensured by the dedicated effort of all concern with the educational process.
