Abstract
The GSM and Computers as agencies of ICT
form the backbone of modern day
telecommunications in Nigeria, and the entire
world at large. GSM, computers, and other
agencies of ICT are highly sophisticated,
revolutionized, and reliable gadgets, which have
come into being as a result of development in
electronic world. Current technology has reduced
the delay in information, which can now be
processed with dispatch. Of remarkable note is
the capacity of the GSM network to be used for
data computing. The National Policy on
Information Technology’s vision was to make
Nigeria an information technology-capable
country in Africa and a key player in the
information society by the year 2005. This paper

the overall development of tertiary institutions and
Nigeria at large, using Osun State College of
