As, information and communication technology (ICT) is sweeping through the global world, there is the need for Nigeria and her educational administrators to keep abreast of the innovations and applications of ICT for performance of their daily administrative task and duties. However, studies directed in this regard were constraint in content and geographical scope. This study therefore examined the impact of ICT on secondary schools' principals' administrative performance in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State. This study was anchored on the Technology Acceptance Model. The study was a descriptive research of a survey type. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 135 participants (45 principals and 90 vice-principals) from 45 sampled public secondary schools. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data collected were statistically treated with percentages, mean and Pearson product moment correlation (PPMC) statistics. Result obtained revealed that, the extent of ICT usage by secondary school principals was moderate (grand mean value of 2.90), while the level of principals' performance in the discharge of their routine administrative duties was also moderate (grand mean value of 2.65). Finding also revealed a significant relationship between the usage of ICT facilities and administrative performance of secondary school principals (r-cal 0.631 > r-tab 0.195). The study concluded that, although ICT has significant influence on performance of principals' administrative duties, its level of availability and usage led the researcher to conclude that secondary school principals in Nigeria are not yet ready for technological advancement or development.
