Abstract

The study’s main focus was on how information and communication technology (ICT) affected universities’ ability to run effectively. The study population included all academic, non-academic and management staff members at the twenty-one public universities in the South-South Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria, and the research was ex post facto and descriptive. A stratified random sampling technique was used in the selection process. The study was guided by three hypotheses and three research questions. The study used a questionnaire to gather its data. Expert verification resulted in a reliability index of 0.85. The One-Way Analysis of Variance was used to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance, while the mean and standard deviation were utilized to address the research questions. The study’s conclusions included, among other things, that there are not enough information and communication technology facilities in universities, which makes it difficult for academics to use ICT effectively. Other issues that tend to impede this include inadequate funding and erratic power supplies. The government should improve power supply to all universities, establish computer centers and cyber cafes in every department of universities, and increase funding for universities to meet the UNESCO standard of a 26% allocation in the nation’s annual budget, among other recommendations based on the findings.
