Questionnaires titled - "Motivational Components Questionnaire (α = .787) and “Instructional Facilities Questionnaire (α = .816)"and Business Studies Achievement Test (KR20 = .777) were used. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results showed low level of academic achievement of the students in Business studies(x̅ = 1.454) and moderate level of students’ motivational components in terms of self-efficacy (x̅ = 2.693), self-concept (x̅ = 2.689) and peer pressure (x̅ = 3.062). Furthermore, it revealed that instructional facilities such as visual aids (x̅ = 2.042) and typing pool (x̅ = 1.791) are rarely available while audio-visual aids is not available (x̅ = 1.367).Hypotheses showed a significant combined influence of motivational components and instructional facilitieson academic achievement of students in Business studies in public upper basic schools in Oyo State (F3, 105 = 2.905; P<0.05). Furthermore, self-efficacy (β = .065; t = 2.190; P<0.05), self-concept (β = .072; t = 2.257; P<0.05), peer pressure (β = .090; t = 2.799; P<0.05), audio-visual aids (β = .088; t = 2.509; P<0.05), visual aids (β = .069; t = 2.206; P<0.05) and typing pool (β = .094; t = 2.842; P<0.05) all have significant relative influence on students’ academic achievement in Business studies. Lastly, there is no significant difference in academic achievement of male and female students in Business studies in Oyo state public upper basic schools (t = 1.016; P> 0.05). It can be concluded that the moderate level of self-efficacy, self-concept, peer pressure of the students and the rare and none availability of instructional facilities such as visual aids, typing pool and audio-visual aids could be responsible for the low level of academic achievement of the students in Public upper basic schools, Oyo state regardless of their gender.
