The study investigated the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) utilization and principals' administrative effectiveness in public secondary schools in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Ex-post facto research design was adopted for the research. The population of the study comprised all the 348 public secondary school principals and vice principals in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A sample of two hundred and fifty-five (255) principals was drawn from eighty-five (85) public secondary schools through purposive sampling technique. Two self-structured questionnaires titled "Information and Communication Technology Utilization Questionnaire (ICTUQ)" and "Principals' Administrative Effectiveness Questionnaire (PAEQ)" were used for data collection. The results of the analysis revealed a significant relationship between ICT usage in the communication process and record keeping, and principals' administrative effectiveness. It was recommended that government should reward ICT-compliant administrators in order to stimulate others in ICT usage for more effective administrative ends.
