The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire developed by the researcher entitled: Information and Communication Technology Competencies Questionnaire” (ICTCQ), “Business Education Lecturers Teaching Performance Questionnaire” (BELTPQ). The reliability coefficients obtained were 0.89 and 0.82 for ICTCQ and BELTPQ respectively. Data collected were analysed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) analysis. The null hypotheses formulated were tested at .05 level of significance. The findings revealed that both ICT components studied had significant positive relationships with teaching performance, though at varying degrees. It was concluded that the integration of ICT in pedagogical practice is no longer optional but a necessity for professional relevance and academic excellence.
