The study is descriptive in nature and uses a closed ended questionnaire on students and teachers use of ICT in teaching and learning. The total number of eighty one (81) students and eight (8) teachers responded to the instrument. It was revealed that school environments were conducive enough to enable effective use of ICT in teaching, school environment is essentially equipped with ICT facilities, students are not allowed frequent access to ICT facilities and teachers do not effectively use ICT facilities to aid teaching and learning.
