Abstract
The study was designed to identify strategies for improved access and use of ICT in business education in tertiary institutions in Delta State. Research questions were raised to guide the study and two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance for the study. A 24-item structured questionnaire was developed and used for the collection of data. The questionnaire was validated by three experts. Ninety-two (92) respondents made up the population and sample for the study from the five tertiary institutions that run business education in Delta State. Eighty-seven (87) copies of the questionnaire were retrieved from the respondents for data analysis.
