Information and Communication technology is significantly changing almost every sphere of human endeavor, and can conveniently be said to be the culture of the 21st century. The changes it has brought, with regards to ease and speed of doing hitherto cumbersome and time consuming tasks is one of the reasons why segments and various professional divides seem in a haste to reform their rules of engagements leveraging on the potentials of ICTs. Tertiary educational institutions in Kogi State have made a handful of attempts at mainstreaming ICTs in delivering their mandate. This paper therefore assesses the Effectiveness of Information and Communications Technology infrastructures in the Kogi State University Anyigba, the Federal Polytechnic Idah, and Kogi State College of Education, Ankpa. The study adopts a Cross-sectional survey research design, guided by the technophile Model, and a target population of 2,360, from which a sample size of 346 respondents was drawn Using the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. Data was collection through the use of self-administered questionnaire and interviews. Analyses was completed using simple percentages and frequency tables. The findings attest to obsolete and inadequate ICT facilities in the institutions under investigation. Particularly, internet connectivity (wifi), power supply to aid effective utilization of ICTs in these institutions, internet radios in Schools/Faculties, Departments and Units in institutions under studies are poor, and in most cases dilapidated and out of use. Besides, functional staff e-mail services for effective communication in these institutions were either not provided for, or not functional. It was equally found that most members of staff lack the requisite knowledge for the application of ICT in the discharge of official responsibilities, among others. The study recommends that all staff and students of the institutions should be given ICT trainings to aid their performance in this dynamic and technology oriented 21st century. Obsolete ICT infrastructures should be replaced with new and modern ones. There should be steady and uninterrupted power supply. Tertiary institutions should make the institution accessible to the internet so that, all staff and student should access the internet in their closet even if it will attract more funds. Mild user charges may be compulsorily levied. Such charges could be made a component of the tuition fee of students and drawn on the salaries of members of staff, from source. This would also insulate the institution from directly incurring more running cost, while at the same time ensuring efficiency.
