The paper concluded that information communication technology has impacted positively on Nigerian educational management. Specifically, the paper discovered that ICT has aided the school administration, teaching and learning processes and has improved teachers’ job performance and students’ academic performance in schools. Based on this findings, the paper recommends more funding in education to enable school administrators to procure more ICT infrastructure facilities in schools.
