AB  - This study investigates the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) literacy
in teaching and learning among undergraduate students in South-East Nigerian universities. Three research
questions were posed for the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey designed. The population of the
study was 540 respondents from selected 5 universities in South-East Nigeria, consisting of 335 males and 205
females with a reliability index of 0.78 using Cronbach alpha method. The instrument for data collection was
a structured questionnaire. The instrument was validated by three experts, one from the Faculty of Engineering,
one from the Faculty of Education and one from the Faculty of Social Sciences, all from the five selected
universities. The data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The findings of the study
revealed that computer, mobile-phone and internet were the three ICT mostly used by undergraduate students,
although, more on an occasional basis. The findings of the study also revealed that some of the challenges faced
by undergraduate students in Nigerian universities include: lack of skills to use the ICT facilities, non-reliability
of public electricity supply, limited duration for the use of ICT and frequent computer breakdown. Based on
the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that Nigerian universities should make available
more ICT equipment and facilities to enhance student’s skills and performance towards the use of ICT in
teaching and learning, since, they have an average ICT literacy level. Also, universities authority should
introduce courses on ICT proficiency to all students and encourage lecturers to make use the ICT facilitiesin
teaching and learning.
