Abstract: Acclimatising podiums that are not destined for instruction is not a laidback chore but is attainable with suitable strategies and arrangement for educators and scholars. Social networks have amalgamated many students into an online world in exploring relationships, finding and acquiring obligatory evidence for their erudition and research. This research aims to explore availability, utilisation and expertise level of the social media platform for learning, and the influence of gender on the utilisation. A structured questionnaire was administered on 450 students across universities in Kwara state. The reliability coefficient of 0.90, and 0.81 using Cronbach’s alpha was deduced. Statistical tools of mean, t-test and Variance (ANOVA) were employed to analyse data for the study. Findings of the study revealed that undergraduates’ expert level on utilising social media for instruction was intermediate and there was no noteworthy difference between undergraduates’ expertise level in the adoption of social media for instruction. The study concluded that undergraduates have average expertise skill on the adoption of social media for instruction. It was recommended that lecturers in tertiary institutions use most social media platforms to teach students as this will boost their proficiency.
