Abstract
this research proposal, have outlined the need for research and development initiative in the area of Utilization of Information and Communication Technology in Education. This need is consistent with growing concern by all stakeholders in education that the condition of ICT in teaching and learning is internationally unacceptable. However, despite concerted efforts by the FGN/MDGs and other non-governmental organizations through re-training and training the trainers of ICT and its uses by teachers in education, we have not seen significant improvement in the area of Information and Communication Technology teaching and learning, by our teachers in Colleges of Education. This lack of noticeable improvement might be due to the lack of clear understanding of the current status of our teacher's knowledge and Technological Pedagogical knowledge content on one hand, and the lack of access and technical support by our institutions on the other hand before designing such interventions. Therefore, the aim of this research project is to collect and analyze baseline data that would guide us and others in the subsequent design of interventions for improving the role-playing ground of lecturers on the use of ICT facilities in the teaching process in Colleges of Education of the North Eastern States.

Summary
The use of technology for teaching is one of the critical issues in education that is wide spread in all institutions of learning (Afshari, et al, 2009), Globally, advances in technology has initiated an emphasis towards the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the educational system for delivery of quality education (Gabriel et al, 2014). This advancement which ICT resources offers to higher institution, can be seen through accessibility to quality resource material and its utilization in instructional delivery. Concerted efforts are being channeled towards this direction by the government in order to ensure the integration of ICT in most of the government owned institutions
