摘要：Humanity is currently in an electronic age which is characterized by bridging the gap between distance and time, giving way to information revolution built around information and communication. Therefore, this study obtained data from 396 secondary school administrators through the Administrators’ Use of ICT Questionnaire (AUIQ) and Administrators’ Communication Questionnaire (ACQ) to investigate how the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) predicts communication effectiveness among secondary school administrators in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The findings were that the extent of administrators’ use of ICT and the extent of administrators’ effectiveness in communication are high; there is a significant positive relationship between administrators’ use of ICT and administrators’ effectiveness in communication; the effectiveness of secondary school administrators in communication is significantly predicted by the use of ICT. Based on the findings, conclusions were drawn and recommendations made that Government should make ICT tools available in all secondary schools for the administrators; workshops on the use of ICT should be organized from time to time by the Governments and NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) for school administrators who are not yet ICT literate; and skilled man-power should be employed to teach those administrators who are still illiterate in this regard by NGOs, the government, and individual.
