The study evaluated the adequacy of input resources available for implementation of Nigeria Certificate in Education programme by Distance Learning System of National Teachers’ Institute in Rivers State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Utilitarian evaluation research design was adopted. The population of the study consisted of 258 subjects in the fourteen NTI NCE study centers in Rivers State. The sample size consisted of 258 respondents. Census sampling technique was used to select all the population as the sample size. An instrument titled: NTI NCE Programme by DLS Input Resources Rating Scale was used for data collection. The face and content validity of the instrument was determined by two experts in measurement and evaluation. The Cronbach Alpha method was used to obtain the internal consistency reliability coefficient of 0.76 for the instrument. Research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation at acceptable mean scores of 2.50 and above, while One Way ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that: material resources not adequately available for implementation of NTI NCE programme by DLS; human resources are adequately available for implementation of NTI NCE programme by DLS. It was recommended among others that: human and material resources should be adequately provided at the study centres, and ICT facilities should be fully mobilized and utilized for effective implementation of NTI NCE programme by DLS in Rivers State.
