The study focused on assessment of the availability, accessibility and utilization of computers on students? proficiency in word-processing in Colleges of Education, North-West, Nigeria. Four research questions and four Null Hypotheses were drawn to guide the study. The research adopted descriptive survey design. The population for the study was 300 secretarial students drawn from 9 (nine) Federal and State Colleges of Education, NCE III doing word-processing in North-West Nigeria. No sampling was done because of the size of the target population. However, out of the 300 OTMstudents, only 278 of them responded validly to the questionnaire. A structured questionnaire tagged AAAUCWP designed by the researcher was used for data collection. Data collected wereanalysed using mean and standard deviation for the four research questions, while the 4 (four) null hypotheses were tested using logistic regression at 0.05 level of significance. The entire four (4) null hypotheses were rejected. Findings revealed that most laboratory computers/ICT resources were not available, inadequate, obsolete and non-functional. Thus, the few available ones could not commensurate with the number of students. This situation made it impossible for OTM students to have proper practical knowledge to acquire the proficiency for speed and accuracy of 60 words per minute in word-processing required for today?s job acquisition. Similarly, disruptions caused by irregular power supply and the absence of an alternative power supply such as power generators or solar energy to drive these resources and lack of technical support staff kept students from utilizing the laboratories computers and their resources. Based on the aforementioned findings, the research concluded that owing to the fact that most computers were inadequate, obsolete and not functioning at optimal level for students? use, students were deprived of the benefits of learning and acquiring the proficiency for speed and accuracy of 60 words per minute in word-processing which could have improved their skills? competence required for self-reliance and for office of today. The study recommended that alternative power supply such as power generators or solar energy to drive these resources should be provided in the colleges. Similarly, Federal and State Government should endeavor to make sufficient funds available for the colleges to enable them procure enough functional computers for the acquisition of these skills. Where this is not forthcoming, colleges should appeal to business organizations within their school localities for either financial or material support.
