Description	This study aimed to identify the factors that determine the utilization of ICT among agricultural students at tertiary institutions in the South Western Zone of Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 240 respondents from the tertiary institutions. Students were mostly male with a mean age of 23.4 years and enrolled in undergraduate programs. Respondents had a high knowledge of ICT utilization despite poor electricity supply, insufficient financial resources, and inadequate ICT infrastructures. A significant relationship existed between constraints, perception of ICT benefits, and utilization of ICT. ANOVA showed a significant difference in the students' level of ICT utilization (F = 26.791; p < .05). Schools should seek private-sector collaboration to alternatively fund ICT amenities on campuses.
