The study evaluated the availability, functionality, and utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities in secondary schools in Ondo State, Nigeria, in order to achieve quality learning outcomes. It also looked on teachers’ abilities to use ICT facilities to enhance scientific teaching and learning. The data was collected and analysed using a survey research methodology and a quantitative technique. To accomplish this, the researchers devised and presented a structured questionnaire to teachers from Ondo State’s three senatorial districts. The sample for the study was chosen using a multistage selection process that included simple random and selective sampling procedures. One hundred and fifty copies of the questionnaire was distributed, with 149 (99.33%) of them being returned. Three research questions and two research hypotheses guided the investigation. The hypotheses were tested using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistic at a significance threshold of 0.05 using SPSS version 20, and the research questions were evaluated using frequency counts and percentages. According to the report of this study, scientific teachers in Ondo State have employed ICT to teach and study science topics, however the facilities in these schools are poor. The survey also discovered that many of these schools’ ICT facilities were not being used to their full potential because they were in poor condition. The study also discovered that science teachers in the investigated area lack the necessary skills to use ICT services. As a result, the researcher recommended that governments at all levels supply ICT facilities to all schools in Ondo State, ensuring that ICT is properly incorporated into all teaching and learning processes. It was also suggested that teachers be encouraged to participate in both pre-service and in-service training on a regular basis. Furthermore, ICT professionals at the state’s secondary schools should develop a maintenance culture so that damaged ICT equipment can be repaired before it becomes completely useless.
