This paper examined the challenges that have hampered the full deployment of the Education Management Information System (EMIS) in Nigerian public secondary schools. We adopted the use of both primary and secondary data in the paper. The secondary and primary data were obtained from print and online publications. The paper concluded that inadequate funding, unstable power supply, poor implementation of information and communication technology (ICT) policy, corruption, poor internet services, shortage of ICT personnel, high cost of maintenance, and poor ICT literacy of students and teachers as factors that have militated against the full deployment of Education Management Information System (EMIS) in the Nigeria public secondary schools. To address these challenges, the paper came up with the following suggestions. The federal and state government should increase the funding of public secondary schools across the country. This will help to develop Education Management Information System (EMIS) in Nigerian public secondary schools. The government needs to reform the energy sector to ensure an adequate supply of energy across the country by making heavy investment in the sector. The government should ensure that the ICT national policy is fully implemented across the federation.
