Abstract
Computer and information literacy are essential skills which are crucial for success in educational institutions at all levels. The need for these skills becomes expedient due to the rapid technological change and proliferating electronic information resources in this digital age. This study investigates the computer and information literacy skills of secondary school students in Edo and Delta States of Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design was adopted while the multistage sampling technique was used to select 1000 students from twenty secondary schools in the two states. Questionnaire was the major data collection instrument used and it was complemented with observation. Findings revealed that though the students acquired computer and information literacy skills from friends and relatives, the level of these skills among the students are fairly good. The study recommended that computer and information literacy instruction should be incorporated into the curriculum of secondary schools to increase the students’ skills.
