This paper discussed the importance of funding mathematics programme in Nigerian schools. The paper critically looked at the concept of mathematics programme and the concept of adequate funding and outlined importance of funding mathematics programme in schools. Secondary data were employed in the paper. The secondary data were collected from print and online publications. The paper concluded that adequate funding of mathematic programme will lead to ; availability funds for administration of mathematic programme, employment of adequate mathematics teachers, provision of mathematics laboratories, mathematics instructional material, modern mathematic library, motivation of mathematics teachers, effective supervision and effective capacity building for mathematics teachers. Based on these pointed identified, the paper suggested increment in budgetary allocation for mathematics programme in all the Nigerian educational institutions.
