school systems. There remains a concerted effort to remove all barriers to effective use of these<br />

technologies in Nigerian schools.<br />

Recommendations<br />

All the schools should be provided with computers and adequate infrastructure to facilitate the good<br />

intention of the government.<br />

Teachers should be adequately trained and retrained to improve on their ICT capabilities while<br />

teachers that are computer literate should be posted to every school to impart ICT skills to students.<br />

All other staff should be encouraged and given adequate incentives to improve on their ICT literacy<br />

levels.<br />

Nigeria should ensure that teachers are well remunerated like their counterparts in other sectors. The<br />

government should remove all forms of discriminations in form federal, state and local government<br />

workers/teachers so that all teachers are placed on equal pedestal...<br />
