ABSTRACT
This
research work investigated into the impact of ICT on student’s academic
performance in computer studies: a case study of secondary schools in
Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State. The study sample
comprised of 100 students drawn from the 10 selected secondary schools based on
random sampling technique. A self-structured achievement test of 20 items was
designed and administered by the computer teachers of the selected secondary
schools as a means of data collection. The statistical tool adopted in the data
analysis were the arithmetic
mean, standard deviation and lastly, Z-test to test the research hypotheses.
The findings of this research clearly shows that, there is a significant
difference between the mean score of students who study computer in an ICT
compliant school and those who do not. Also, following the inference of the analysis the second

between the relationship of students in an ICT Compliant school and those who
are not, were upheld. The following recommendations such as; The government
should make it compulsory for all public and private secondary schools to have
an affordable ICT Centre, government should sensitize and encourage the ICT
industry and other companies in the private sector especially mobilize phone
operators (MTN, AIRTEL, GLO ETC). To invest in education of future Nigerian
students, Proper implementation of ICT in teacher training institution’s
project as well as producing qualified ICT personnel for sustainable take up of
