This study is a critical overview of the efforts of the Nigerian government to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into education. It also assessed the availability of ICT facilities and infrastructure as stated in the strategic ICT objectives, and investigated whether the sample used (i.e. students) has the skills needed for ICT utilization and factors or challenges that affect the diffusion of ICT in education. This is with the ultimate view to providing empirical information on the extent of achieving the vision and objectives of the National Policy for ICT in Nigeria. The study employed exploratory research design. Three hundred participants (N=300) that constituted the sample was selected from ten primary schools using stratified sampling technique, based on the Local Education Authority Area, school types, and location. The research instrument is made up of a self-designed questionnaire on a five-point Likert Scale. They were derived from relevant literature and validated by experts from the Department of Educational Technology, Department of Educational Foundations and Counseling, and ICT teachers in public schools in Ile-Ife for content validity. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Pearson Moment Correlation. A correlation of 0.87 was found. The data were analyzed using One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings showed that ICT facilities were not universally available. It was also found that 10 years after the enactment of the Nigerian National ICT Policy, internet services are yet to be fully made available in all government institutions in Nigeria.
