Numerous literature reviews on educational leadership in Nigeria reveal that many Headmasters find it difficult to display leadership attributes in order to maintain a positive school culture, which may lead to organisational effectiveness. Leadership attributes and organizational culture have been recognized as the two most important variables influencing the effectiveness of organizations all over the world.

The study employed a correlational design, quantitative approach and Pearson Products Moment Correlation was used to determine how organizational relates to leadership attributes and organizational culture in states' primary schools. A population of 1,572 was obtained by including all 31 of the state's primary schools that had been selected to take part in the research. Three sampling techniques were used to calculate the study's sample size, which were 340. The study revealed that organizational effectiveness is significantly and positively related to leadership attributes and organizational culture as deemed by primary school teachers. The majority of studies found do not take into account the three variables, and the current model has been in use at a tertiary school ever since. The aim of this research, which distinguishes it from previous ones, is to use an all-inclusive model that takes into account all three variables with diverse multifaceted dimensions so as to ensure the organizational criteria in primary school. As a result, it is recommended that primary head teachers in the state of Niger display the kind of leadership attributes that can ensure familiarity with a favorable school culture and have an optimistic effect on the effectiveness of their primary institutions.
