Three research questions and three null hypotheses were used for the study. A descriptive research design was adopted for this study. The population for the study consisted of all the teachers in the 23 public seniors’ secondary schools’ areas of Rivers State, totaling 6,557 teachers. A sample of this study was 377 teachers representing 17% of the total population of teachers in public senior secondary schools in Rivers State. The Taro Yamane method used to draw out the sample size. Thus, n= N/ (1+N (e)2). Furthermore, the coefficients index value obtained was 0.86 and therefore the reliability of the instrument was established. The statistical tool used for answering the research questions were Mean and Standard Deviation statistics, while t-test inferential tool was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 Alpha level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that to a high extent provision of ICT training and job security enhances effective service delivery in public senior secondary schools in Rivers State. The study concluded that provision of teachers needs facilitates the teachers’ effective services. It was recommended that the principals and schools Board should often organize ICT training programs with the aim of equipping teachers with the digital skills needed for effective teachers’ service delivery and should provide teachers with job security to provide them with the emotional stability needed to carry out their assigned duties.
