instruments was determined using Cronbach Alpha Method which yielded an alpha
of.71 and .80
respectively which were considered reliable. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient to answer the research
questions while linear regression analysis was used to test the null hypotheses
at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that adequate campus shuttle
service significantly to a positive high extent relate to instructional
effectiveness in universities in Abia state. The findings also revealed that
students’ medical services significantly to a very high extent relate to instructional
