This study assesses the availability and utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities in the implementation of the Economics curriculum in tertiary institutions in Enugu State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was employed, involving 127 respondents—39 lecturers and 88 students—from five tertiary institutions. The findings reveal that while 60% of institutions have desktop computers available for teaching Economics, only 40% have projectors, and no institutions had interactive whiteboards. Moreover, internet access was available in only 60% of the institutions. Despite these resources, ICT tools are underutilized; for instance, while computers were highly utilized (mean score of 3.20), the use of internet for student assignments was low (mean score of 2.40), and interactive whiteboards were rarely used (mean score of 1.50). The study emphasizes the need for improved ICT infrastructure, regular training for lecturers, and enhanced internet connectivity. Recommendations include strategic investments to bridge the urban-rural digital divide and policies to promote ICT integration in teaching, ultimately improving the quality of Economics education in the region
