Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The population for the study consisted of all the 12 universities offering business education in South-West and South-South, Nigeria. As the entire population were sampled using the purposive sampling technique. A checklist titled: "Business Education Teaching Resources Availability Checklist (BETRAC)" was used to conduct the study. The validity and reliability of the checklist were established. Data were analysed using frequencies, percentages and graphs. Hypotheses were tested using chi-square statistics at a 0.05 significance level. The findings indicated that the electronic and physical plant business education teaching resources were more available in the Federal universities than those of the State universities in South-West and South-South, Nigeria. The hypotheses indicated that there was a significant difference between Federal and State universities in the availability of electronic business education teaching resources in the South-West and South-South.
