The study investigates the The study investigate the Assessessment Of The Availiablity And Utilization Of Media Resources For Instruction In Literacy Centers In Oredo Local Government Area, Four research questions were raised question The population of the study comprises of employee in the selected literacy centers located in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State .The study will employ a non-probability sampling method. This approach is deemed the most appropriate methodological choice because the total population of employees within the selected literacy centres is not publicly defined or accessible. The absence of a fixed, enumerated list of all potential participants known as a sampling frame precludes the use of probability sampling techniques, which require every member of the population to have a known and non-zero chance of selection (Etikan, 2021). Consequently, this research will utilise a multi-stage non-probability approach that combines purposive sampling with convenience sampling. The first stage involves purposive sampling, also referred to as judgmental or selective sampling. This technique involves the researcher deliberately selecting subjects based on specific
characteristics or qualities that are an ideal fit for the study's objectives (Ben Shlomo, Brookes, & Hickman, 2021). In this context, the seven institutions listed in the population section were purposively selected based on their established and recognised role in providing literacy and adult education services within the Oredo Local Government Area. This ensures that the data is gathered from sources that are directly relevant to the phenomenon under investigation.The second stage will employ convenience sampling (also known as accidental or haphazard sampling) for the recruitment of individual participants from within these purposively selected centres. Convenience sampling involves selecting participants based on their accessibility, proximity The analysis of the data produced the following findings Limited availability of modern media resources such as computers, projectors, and audio-visual aids in most literacy centers. Many literacy centers rely heavily on traditional teaching methods due to inadequate access to media resources. Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations are offered:Increase funding and investment to procure modern media resources for all literacy centers. Implement training programs for teachers to improve their skills in using media resources effectively.
