%X This study investigated relationship between students¡¯ creativity and academic achievement as measured by the CGPA scores. Two instruments; Nicolas Holt Creativity Test (NHCT) and Student CGPA Information Format (SCIF) were respectively used to collect data on creativity and students¡¯ CGPA scores of a sample of randomly selected 235 HNDII business administration students of Polytechnics in the South Western States of Nigeria. There was a very low negative insignificant relationship between creativity and CGPA scores (r=-0.004, p>0.05).Thus, the higher the students¡¯ creativity, the lower the CGPA score. A creative person may not necessarily be a high achiever in school. In searching for people to carry out tasks that involve high creativity, level of academic achievement should not be the only requirement for selection.
