CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
According to Dania and Enakrire (2012) There is a universal recognition of the need to use information and communication technology (ICTs) in the educational systems of Nigeria as we are in the era of digitalization where the free flow of information via satellite and the internet hold sway in global dissemination of knowledge in diverse areas of use. Nigeria is way slow in embracing the integration of ICTs for the development and improvement of study habits of students in secondary school curriculum. A great deal of instructional and study materials used by students in Edo State secondary schools are manual and not digital. This is as a result of lack of high cost of computer hardware and software for their application, weak infrastructures, selfish political ambition of individuals, diversion of fund for other purposes in schools, inadequate skilled ICT professionals/teachers, lack of appropriate organizational recognition, unwillingness of teacher to adapt to new trends of teaching study skills, inadequate fund to acquire furniture, textbooks, befitting classroom, cost of subscription to the internet on a regular basis are stumbling block on the adoption of ICTs tools for study amongst secondary school students in Edo state (Dania and Enakrire,2012).In this modern society, secondary school students need ICTs to aid their learning ,educational and study management so as to meet up with the technological development of the 21st century.
