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. The arithmetic mean analysis was used for answering the research questions while ANOVA statistics was used to test the null hypotheses. The study found out that the problem of inadequate funding of ICT facilities and poor management of ICT tools are critical factors that are working against the accessibility and use of ICT in business education in tertiary institutions in Delta State. Therefore, the researcher recommended among others, that the operators of business education in tertiary institutions in Delta State as a matter of urgency should apply the funding and the management strategies to gain more accessible to ICT tools and facilities for instructional and administrative activities in business education.
