The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of Information Technology (IT) in teaching and Learning Economics in secondary schools. The focus was on three main subject matters: to outline the challenges that can constrain the utilization of information technology in the teaching and learning of economics in secondary schools, analyze if the teaching and learning with the use of information technology can advance the students comprehension in economics and determine if the use of information technology in secondary schools in Akoko South West Local Government can enhance the academic development of Ondo State. Three research questions were formulated to guide the researcher investigate the phenomena. A descriptive survey design was used to collect data from the field through the use of questionnaire and an observation schedule. From the findings there was a strong indication that the use of ICT in learning and teaching in most of the secondary schools in the study area is limited. In most of the secondary schools the students were in agreement that the infrastructure was inadequate. Percentage of the students indicated that they did not have the skills to create/edit a document, save a document, send mail and open a file. This is a clear indication that most of the students did not have any basic idea on use of computers. The study also recommended that there is need for schools with I T facilities to address the issue of lack of I T staff as this will ensure that the facilities are in good working conditions and are utilized responsibly and optimally by the students and staff. All the students should be given some basic training on the use of computers before choosing to use the computer to teach and learn a specialized course. Finally, further research is to be done on utilization of I T facilities where such facilities are well established in other geographical areas of the country.
