With the growth of information communication technology, learning outcomes are now being influenced by the deployment of technology to enhance teaching delivery and students’ greater understanding of learning concepts. Given government’s adoption of ICT modules in instructional delivery, the current study investigated teachers’ attitude towards the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for quality instructional delivery in secondary schools in Onitsha North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was used with the population which consisted of 845 teachers from 16 Government owned secondary schools in Onitsha North Local Government Area. The sample consists of233 teachers (25 males and 208 females) randomly drawn from eight (8) secondary schools. Instrument used for data collection was a 17 item structured questionnaire developed by the researchers and was used for data collection. Mean and standard deviation were used in answering the research question and Z-test for testing the hypotheses. The findings revealed that teachers are comfortable and skilled in the use of ICT; most teachers confirmed also that they are conversant with other ICT appliances like; data processing, internet network connectivity, using Microsoft words and excel to prepare lesson note and sorting data like students’ scores in mathematics. Based on the findings, it was concluded that teachers showed positive attitude towards the use of ICT for quality instructional delivery, and that teachers did not differ significantly in their opinion by gender, age and teaching experience towards the use of ICT for quality instructional delivery. It is recommended that the attitude and interest of teachers towards the use of ICT in teaching and learning process should regularly be enhanced through trainings, workshops and seminars.
