ABSTRACT
This study focused on the influence of Information and Communication Technology Resources on Teaching Office Technology and Management in Polytechnics in North-Central Geo-political Zone, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was used and the population which formed the sample for the study was all the Lecturers in the eleven (11) Polytechnics in the North-Central Geo Political Zone, Nigeria. Owing to the low number of the population of one hundred and thirteen (113), the whole population was used for the study. Five specific objectives, five research questions as well as five null hypotheses were raised for the study. The theoretical framework used for this study was Roger?s Diffusion of Innovation Theory (2003). The instrument used for collection of data was a four-point scale rating questionnaire. Findings revealed that ICT resources were hardly available and inadequate thus the few lecturers who were proficient in its usage had no access to it. Based on the findings, the study recommended that adequate funds should be made available to institutions by the government for the purpose of procuring adequate ICT resources. The study also recommended that workshops, seminars, and comprehensive training and re-training programmes on ICT resource utilization should be organized by institutions for office technology and management lecturers at the Polytechnic to enable them gain current knowledge of the resources. The research concluded that owing to the fact that most ICT resources were not accessible to the lecturers for use; students were deprived of the benefits of learning with ICT related resources which could have improved their skills competence required for the office of today.
