Abstract	Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionalized and globalized all aspects of human endeavor. The effects of ICT in transforming the educational sector and contributions to the advancement of knowledge through teaching and learning is the rationale behind this study, which investigates the impact of ICT in transforming tertiary education in Nigeria. The study identified three key areas in addressing the transformation: expanding the access to teaching and learning; improving the quality of education; and making it affordable in terms of cost and time. A mixed methodology approach was adopted which involved the use of questionnaires and unstructured interviews administered on students and lecturers, using a case study survey strategy. A novel sustainable ICT model termed guided transformation was developed.
