The reliability of the research instrument was obtained using test-retest method, the Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient of .87 was obtained. The instrument was validated by two experts from the department of business education, Rivers State University of Science and Technology. All 70 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved and analyzed using mean for the research questions and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the hypothesis at .05 level of significance. The results obtained indicated that business education lecturers are yet to fully apply ICT facilities in teaching and this is as a result of the challenges confronting its application.
