The world is increasingly dependent on technology and computing systems and the use of technological equipment like computer is paramount to national and individual development. It is on this premise that this research work is carried out to reveal those issues that has been hindering the full implementation of ICT in Nigerian secondary school curriculum. Our survey was carried out in sampled 12 states of the Federation on 156 secondary schools to address those issues relating to infrastructure, curriculum implementation, and staff training. The questionnaires were administered to principals, head teachers or ICT coordinators to find out those issues hindering the effectively implementation of ICT in secondary schools. The result of the findings revealed that 84 (53.8%) of respondents have appointed ICT coordinator while 72 (46.2%) have none showing lack of preparedness for the implementation of the policy. The study recommends continuous professional development for all teaching staff to make integration of ICT in the secondary school curriculum a success.
