Table 6 above indicate the responses of students to their ICT competences which happened to be very poor. They are not taught with sound practical demonstration, and their use of computer systems as well as internet has not gone beyond booting the computer system and use of Microsoft windows for typing documents and searching the internet for nonacademic purposes. This points the need for teachers to embark on demonstration method in teaching computer subject.
