Abstract: It is no longer contestable that the emergence of Information Communication Technology (ICT) over the years has revolutionized all spheres of life. In the realm of education, appropriate utilization of ICTs has gradually altered the traditional teaching methods in most climes, thereby making teaching-learning more interesting and administrative work less complex. Nevertheless, the level of adoption of ICT in tertiary institution in Nigeria appear abysmally low resulting from factors resident in personnel and the education system. This paper therefore explores the spheres of ICT application in tertiary institutions of learning to include learning and teaching, research and collaboration, administrative efficiency, professional development among others. Constraints and considerations in adopting ICT were equally exposed to encompass data security and privacy concerns, technical challenges, poor implementation.Strategies for optimum adoption and integration of ICT by administrators of tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It was recommended among others that management should address the perennial problem of irregular power among others.
