Conclusion
    Based on the findings of this study, the study concludes as follows:
    On availability and utilization of computers, there was not enough available computers for use in teaching and learning of Business Studies in schools, and this does not help the teachers and students to break out the walls of the classroom to share and have access to all the wonderful information and experience that is now possible.
    On the purpose use of computers, there is no any computers in use for the teaching and learning of Business Studies in Schools. Because, there is lack and inadequate supply of computers in the schools and this does not help to improve the teaching and learning of Business Studies in Schools.
    On benefits of computers, the teachers and students would enjoy such a class environment when computers are used during teaching and learning Business Studies and this will improve the teachers and students motivation.
    On the challenges; there were challenges of teachers and students prepardness, lack of internet facilities, inadequate supply of computers, hardware and software costs, and lack of e-learning content which affect the need for teachers and students to update their knowledge on Business Studies.
Recommendations
    Sequel to the findings of this study, the following recommendations were made:
i.    Government and the P.T.A should stand up to schools by providing computers and other necessary facilities for the use of the schools.
ii.    Teachers need to be trained to know the purpose uses of computer as they will in turn teach their students.
iii.    Teachers and students must see computer as a way of making teaching and learning more practical and use them judiciously.
iv.    Teachers and students needs to be ready to update their knowledge on the use of internet/ computers and the government should take up the responsibility of directly funding the initial acquisition of computers and find a way of minimizing all the listed challenges.

    The following are the suggested areas for further studies:
1.    Similar study could be conducted using more than 10 Local Government Area of the state.
