This study aimed at the effect of ICT on the efficiency of e-learning in higher institutions of Kogi State. The study adopted descriptive research design. 226 respondents were surveyed. Reliability results showed the Cronbach alpha of ICT adoption for e-learning (α = 0.984) and efficiency of e-learning (α = 0.755). Data were gathered and analysed using descriptive, Multiple Regression and Binary Logit Regression. Finding showed that ICT adoption has strong influence on efficiency of e-learning in the higher institutions of Kogi State.
