The study analyzes Resource Use Efficiency among Urban Sudano-sahelian Dairy Farmers in Maiduguri metropolis area of Borno State, Nigeria. Data were collected using structured questionnaire. Two stage random sampling techniquewas used for the study. Ten herds were randomly selected from 1122 registered herds as primary sampling unit for the study. The second stage consisted of proportionate random sampling of 120 dairy farmers in the primary sampling unit. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyzethe socioeconomic characteristics and quantities of inputs and outputs of the dairy farmers. Stochastic frontier production function was employed to analyze the determinants of dairy production. The study concluded that production resources in small scale dairy farm such as feed and veterinary drugs/vaccines were inefficiently utilized, while labour and landwere over-utilized. The optimal use of resources in dairy production suggests quantities of inputs level under-utilized should be reduced to optimal level for increased dairy production
