    An essential subcomponent of the school health program is environmental sanitation. The study examined the teachers’ perceived influence of sanitation manual utilisation on the promotion of wellness among secondary school inhabitants in Ilorin Metropolis. The study specifically looks into whether the availability of basic facilities and equipment, the proper use of school sanitation manuals, and adherence to different strategies for implementing school sanitation affect the health promotion of students in Junior Secondary Schools in Ilorin Metropolis. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for this study comprises 4,484 junior secondary school teachers in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 360 samples for this study. The researcher-developed questionnaire and checklist were used. The reliability of the instrument was established through the split-half method, and a coefficient of 0.85 was obtained using Spearman-Brown correlation statistics analysis. Descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage were used for answering the research questions, while inferential chi square statistics were employed to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 alpha level of significance. The findings were that teachers perceived the availability of school sanitation facilities and equipment, effective utilisation of the equipment and facilities, and the implementation of various strategies for sanitation as influencing the promotion of wellness among junior secondary school students in Ilorin Metropolis. The study recommends that government or school proprietors should ensure effective provision of facilities such as water supply, toilets, and accessories.
