Abstract: This study examined availability and utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in primary schools in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. The study adopted the survey research design. Population of the study comprised 25,791 teachers in public primary schools in Abuja. A sample of four hundred and thirty-five (435) were randomly selected across the six Area Councils in the FCT, Abuja. Instrument of the study was titled: Availability and Utilization of ICT Assessment Scale (AU-ICT-AS). It was constructed in a 4-point modified likert scale format. The descriptive statistics of frequency count, means, variance, and percentages were adopted for data analysis upon which the research questions of the study were answered. It was found that ICT facilities are inadequately provided for teaching and learning in primary schools in the FCT, Abuja, hence, the benefits of ICTs in teaching and learning are grossly not explore and, most primary school teachers are not ICT compliance which in turn hindered utilization of ICT resources for teaching and learning process. Based on this, it was recommended that government should be proactive in discharging her roles in the provision of educational resources to schools, and teachers should be trained in the use of ICT facilities in teaching and learning process.
