institutions in Niger State, Nigeria in line with stated objectives five (5) research
questions, five (5) null hypotheses and five (5) basic assumptions were raised for the

research design was used for the study with the total population of 15,308 made up of 50
leaders of institutions, 8000 academic staffs and 7258 non-academic staffs. Purposive

modified on a five (5) point Likert scale which was used to collect data from the
respondents. The instrument was validated by the researcher‘s supervisor. Plot study was
conducted in two schools to ascertain reliability and reliability co-efficient of 0.82 was
obtained. Data collected for this study was analyzed through frequency and simple
percentage for demographic data, descriptive statistic was used to analyse the bio- data of
the respondents, weighted mean otherwise called decision was used to answer the five (5)
research questions; while one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Statistical tool was
used to test the five (5) hypotheses postulated for this study at 0.5 level of significance.The
findings of the study revealed that, ICT is very much in use and has facilitated
Communication between the management; and other staff in the institution and also,
through ICT records in higher institutions are not only properly kept but are effectively
saved in retrievable gadgets for future use in Niger State. It is therefore concluded that, the
advent of ICT has brought about communication exposure, through ICT the era of manual
search for document, students‘ information and inadequacy of space for shelves and files
have become a thing of the past in higher institutions in Niger State. The study therefore
recommended that, more ICT facilities should be provided in the required quantity and
quality in all higher institutions for adequate educational research; also, there is the need to
train and retrain staff on proper record keeping, maintenance culture and also for proper
decision making process through ICT, in all higher institutions in Niger State - Nigeria.
