Abstract: This study was designed to determine the information and communication technology (ICT) potentials possessed by tertiary institutions’ teaching staff in Enugu State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population for the study consisted of 5,970 academic staff from 12 tertiary institutions in Enugu State. 544 respondents constituted the sample size for the study. A structured questionnaire of 20 items was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by three research experts. The reliability index for the instrument was computed using Cronbach Alpha method and found to be of 0.82. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the hypotheses was tested using ANOVA at 0.05level of significance. The findings showed that Academic staff of tertiary institutions’ do not possess ICT potentials for effective teaching and learning. There is no significant difference in the mean ratings of universities, polytechnics and colleges of education teaching staff on the ICT potentials possessed by them in Enugu State. Based on the findings, it was recommended that federal and state governments should improve budgetary allocations to tertiary institutions to enable them meet their teaching and research needs. Teaching staff should be sponsored to attend workshops, seminar and conferences to keep them abreast with global ICT potentials they need to possess.
