The research participants were 589 public senior secondary school students sampled in Uromi metropolis, Edo state, Nigeria. The instruments used for the study were school attendance checklist and an adapted questionnaire titled: “Influence of Drug Abuse on School Attendance among Male and Female Senior Secondary School Students”, which was completed by the participants. The result showed that there is no significant difference in school attendance between male and female victims of drug abuse.
